Why are you using the word primarily?
"Once it expired in 2022" they're not talking about the CTC expiring.
no, just the bit Biden did, the thing that was cited as one of his major accomplishments.
and c'mon; Insulin is cheaper for Medicare recipients. Insulin is cheaper for the elderly. It is, in effect, the same statement. You really quibbling over wording to try and scrape together a point?
Medicare includes disabled people of all ages and Insulin is used for people of all ages. Sure majority of the users are elderly but so what elder will always require the most medical care and any effort to bring that cost down for them is great.
You're the one trying to attack the policy saying it ONLY affected elderly. It didnt only affectly elderly and that's only affecting elderly isnt a reason against it.
It's within the governments power to lock prices. For something as medically necessary as insulin, anything less is a half measure.
