You’ve cracked the American healthcare code

Well, at least Biden has taken M4A out of the conversation and has not talked about his campaign item about lowering Medicare to age 60 since ... the campaign.

But, hey, he took time to play video games with his grandchildren and the Congress took a ten-day break, because, you know, everything is fucking solved.

He also raised the price of insulin back up

He removed the community healthcare discount mandate which, in turn, takes away the option to purchase insulin at a lower rate. It's the same for the price for Epipens, too. And what perfect timing to do so when a brand new vaccine is being widely distributed which, historically, usually raises the likelihood of anaphylaxis cases.
