    He hasn't changed anything. They been put on hold so they can be reviewed. This policy was not meant to go into affect until March 22, so no one has been affected.

    Reading comprehension is critical if you are going to be making accusations.

    No need to freeze this. Obviously this will hurt diabetics. You need to take off the rose-colored glasses.

    It hasn't started yet. Nobody's being hurt.

    Anyway I'm diabetic. Wal-Mart sells insulin cheap. I don't know why they don't advertise it. They sell a particular brand cheaply. There are two types of insulin, long acting taken regularly and fast acting for spikes in blood sugar.

    The fast acting can vary on how fast it brings down sugar. I'm saying this because I've debated this with another diabetic here, but I maintain if your brand becomes expensive, you can get used to the Wal-Mart brand. Its not life or death, you just have to get used to it.

    Wal-Mart started selling this insulin cheaply as well as a brand of blood sugar testing supplies cheaply6 years ago. On the insulin my cost dropped almost $200 monthly to $50. The prices are both with no insurance

    Look, you can criticize if the executive order is rescinded, as of now is on hold, under review.

    Don't you think freezing it is pointless? Why stop it from going forward? It is effectively canceled unless more is done.

    I will criticize it. This stopped it. Don't stop it. Review is an excuse and not a good one.

    Also Biden is executing far too many executive orders. He is the dictator everyone made Trump out to be.

    I don't know why generic drugs aren't manufactured by quasi government non-profits and either sold at cost or given away through Medicare.

    Socialism can be good

    It's not about reading comprehension, don't excuse someone who has long shown his true colours.

    It is fascist propaganda.

    Are you antifa? You are oddly obsessed with fascism. This is not 1930s germany lol. Get a wider view of history and the modern political landscape.

    sweetheart ,not everyone is like you to identify and get obssessed with foreign parties and movements in the other side of the world.

    But if you ask if I am against fascism? Vehemently so.
    That's why I am calling you out and will continue to do so.

    America showed us the danger once again of what happens when fascist rhetoric and propaganda is allowed to spread and proliferate unhindered.

    I am not naive to see you as a begnin clueless troll. You are dangerous and can't be allowed to infect others with your poison.

    Don't you right wingers hate government red tape. The order was fluff causing more harm than good

    This freeze is part of the Biden administration’s large-scale effort announced this week that will scrutinize the Trump administration’s health policies. If the previous administration’s policies raise “fact, law, or policy” concerns, the Biden HHS will delay them and consult with the Office of Management and Budget about other actions.
    Former HHS leaders argued the drug rule would benefit patients who struggle to pay for expensive insulin and allergy medication. However, the health centers said they already pass on those savings and this rule is merely an administrative burden that paints them as entities that price-gouge patients. It’s not clear how many facilities would have to follow the rule or face funding restrictions.

    Pick 6 Biden, I knew he'd screw things up but I just didn't think it'd happen this quickly.

    You guys are hilarious

    Talking like a possible rise in insulin is defining a bad President. If you are so concerned why don't you just support universal healthcare, all insulin would be covered.

    So the order hadn't started yet, and hasn't been canceled, just being reviewed.

    Why does it even need review? Under what circumstances is raising the cost of insulin good for Americans?
