Now...………….……………………… patients come in with out of control blood sugars who need surgery cancelled as they can't afford their insulin.

Another great move by the dems.
I thought 2 months ago you said Biden was going to Gitmo? What happened to that?

Second question, I thought Snopes was a liberal site and not trustworthy? That change too?

Finally, what do you mean by "We have had many patients saying they can no longer afford their insulin?"

The basis of Trump's EO had little to do with the "price" of insulin, rather it had to do with the discounts being passed on to the end user. That is to say a.) Not everyone would see a reduction in price and b.) The price would be the same on January 23 as it was on January 22.

I wouldn't worry about it all that much.

There is a really smart Dr. guy I know that says the Biden coup will be reversed and Trump will be reinstalled as President here in the near future.

I'd assume that Trump will change the insulin prices back to what they were before shortly thereafter.

Hard to move off the narrative once it is ingrained.

So a monopoly provider that's bigger than the other ones were, and that still raises prices on you every year.

Feel free to show me where this is Bidens fault. Trump had 4 years, 2 of them with a Republican house and senate. He REPEATEDLY claimed he was fixing it....via EO's that didn't actually do anything other then express a desire.

If you want to discuss the topic you are talking about in your post feel free, but if you want to link that to Biden as the first post did you need to come up with a actual linkage.

N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo opposed Trump every
step of the way when trying to speedily implement
the vaccine.
Cuomo called for a committee to be created
to study the Vaccination.


Inauguration has come and gone and so did the committee................Gee ....wonder why?

Ignoring it? Maybe we already found out that most of the claim is untrue.

Also, let's just say I think if Jussie Smolletts started a thread on this forum it would start out with more credibility.
You are on a roll, lately.

And that's the real meaning of what's happened unlike the OP's question which is being raised over a Twitter post. With the giant flurry of last minute EO's issued as Trump was counting down to leave many of those were just wrong or need further review. All the administration is saying is give us 60 days to evaluate their legitimacy but now people are up in arms because something they support (as do I) is being held up.

Biden needs to start a focus group and demand they finish their work by Jan 21, 2025.

Naturally!
Trump and his incompetent derelicts made a huge mess of everything they touched, so there's a lot to straighten out.
