Original Note:
Exec. Order 13937, issued by Pres. Trump, lowered the price of insulin to $35. The order was to go into effect 1/22/21; upon taking office, Biden issued a freeze on all rules made by Trump not yet in effect. This included $35 insulin, which Biden later reinstated. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-13937-access-affordable-life-saving-medications https://www.policymed.com/2021/10/biden-administration-rescinds-trump-administration-insulin-pricing-rule.html https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/health-verify/biden-stopped-trump-insulin-executive-order-only-affected-some-health-centers/536-fd5c976a-191e-4821-8c07-296b725d8482 https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-insulin-epipen/
