The recent decision by the Trump administration to roll back prescription drug cost caps is sparking major concern across the country. Over 120 million Americans on Medicare and Medicaid could be affected, with life-saving medications like insulin potentially skyrocketing from $35 to hundreds of dollars. This leaves people, especially retirees and parents, facing tough choices between medicine and basic needs.
This change gives pharmaceutical companies and insurers more freedom to hike prices, potentially worsening the healthcare crisis. To push back, we need to contact our representatives, support grassroots efforts, and advocate for stronger healthcare reforms that ensure affordable medicine for everyone.

I pointed this out and got downvoted until my comment was hidden. It’s frustrating when facts don’t seem to matter in discussions like these.
It’s bots, I swear. Bots programmed to rile people up.
What this executive order actually does is cancel some planned tests to find ways to lower drug prices. It doesn’t directly impact insulin caps or other drug pricing caps.
This rollback is alarming. So many people on Medicare and Medicaid are already struggling, and now they might face even higher costs. We really need to push for affordable healthcare solutions.

For some, it won’t just be a tough decision—it’ll be life or death. What kind of choice is that?
