    It’s within the governments power to lock prices. For something as medically necessary as insulin, anything less is a half measure.

      It is and Biden did 10x more than just lock the price of insulin. So what’s the issue?

        The issue is the price gouging still exists for everyone who isn’t on Medicare. You have to either be old enough, or prove to the government that you fit their criteria for disabled before you get the reasonable price.

          I believe that dems tried for a reduction in the cost of insulin for all but it was blocked by the right.
