They didn’t introduce a bill to just repeal the $35 cap on insulin.
They introduced a bill to repeal the entire Inflation Reduction Act.
Which, among other things, means they want to get rid of:
- the $35 insulin cap.
- And a yearly cap of $2,000 for medications in Medicare Part D.
- And allowing Medicare to negotiate for drug prices.
- And requiring pharma companies to issue refunds to Medicare if the costs of their drugs rises faster than inflation
- And an elimination of copays in Medicare Part D for vaccines like tetanus and rabies
- And an expansion of eligibility for low-income subsidies for Medicare
Saying they want to eliminate just the insulin cap is understating their desire to fuck people over.
