Original Note:
Executive Order 13937, issued by Pres. Trump, lowered the price of insulin to $35; it was scheduled to go into effect 1/2021. Upon taking office, Biden froze all rules made by Trump not yet in effect. This included $35 insulin. Biden is now reinstating the $35 cost. https://www.policymed.com/2021/10/biden-administration-rescinds-trump-administration-insulin-pricing-rule.html https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-13937-access-affordable-life-saving-medications https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-insulin-epipen/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/26/politics/white-house-insulin-cap-medicare/index.html
