We should have universal healthcare. Insulin would be free. We’ve been trained to expect so little, politicians feel free to brag about throwing us crumbs.

From capping insulin costs at $35 a month for seniors on Medicare to cutting health care premiums by $800 a year for 15 million families, President Biden is lowering health care costs for millions of Americans.

That sounds great. How will you get Republicans to vote for something they have spent 50 years or more opposing? This might help you understand just a bit of the difficulty Biden has actually overcome. youtube.com/watch?v=l6MinvU9…

True enough but easier said than done. Obama and Biden could both reasonably brag about their accomplishments in healthcare but only because the system had already sunk so far. Still, it took a lot of work and caring to get this far. Credit where credit is due.

That ain’t Dems preventing that.

How about making fruits and vegetables "free" ? Let pharma pay for it.

Nothing is free.

Trumps $35 insulin is still a hefty markup. Many times over cost and many times over what cost would be if congress didnt set medicare as not negotiating drug prices for healthcare lobbyists. Romneycare would increase americans benefits and halve their monthly costs.

“Free”? So you’re not going to pay the people who manufacture, package, ship, sell, and prescribe insulin? They’re all going to do all that for “free?” How stupid do you think we are? What you mean is that others will pay for it. Right?
