Original Note:
One of Biden’s first acts in 2021 was to suspend Trump's EO (which lowered insulin prices, effective Jan 2021). In 2022, Biden signed The IRA, which capped costs effective in 2023. Biden also overstates the $400 cost that beneficiaries paid before the law. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/23/2020-28483/implementation-of-executive-order-on-access-to-affordable-life-saving-medications https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-access-affordable-life-saving-medications/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/apr/02/joe-biden/biden-is-right-about-35-insulin-cap-but-exaggerate/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/03/02/fact-sheet-president-bidens-cap-on-the-cost-of-insulin-could-benefit-millions-of-americans-in-all-50-states/
