But Biden was the guy who got the insulin price dropped.
Bernie ... or Biden... doesn't make a difference to the poor people who need the stuff. The price is down, and the Dems did it. The Repubs fought it every inch of the way.
My (rhetorical) question is:
How can anybody depending on insulin... or the families of people depending on insulin... vote for a Republican?
WTF is wrong with people?

It's great that one drug from from one company will see a price cap. What about the rest?
Of course it's likely that Eli Lilly will spread the costs of cheaper insulin to other products they sell.

(58,785 posts)Of course, many others outside government, individuals and organizations, have been pushing for lower insulin prices for a very long time.
Thanks to Senator Sanders for speaking on this issue to those whose beliefs have been so badly subverted against Democrats that our people can't reach them. We really do need help from anyone who can -- and will -- get our message to those who won't believe it from us because they swallowed the vote-suppressing, progress-defeating narrative that Democrats and Republicans really are mostly the same.
