“This was an unexpected victory in a long fight against an illegal cartel of three corporations who have raised their insulin prices in lockstep.”

The IRA was passed in the face of one of the heftiest barrages of lobbying in congressional history, with the pharmaceutical industry spending more than $700 million over 2021 and 2022 — several times more than the second- and third-ranking industries — much of it aimed at stopping the legislation, watering it down, or undermining its implementation.
Biden is fine. A lot of people are looking for someone who is going to revolutionize things overnight. A lot of folks also like to give the President blame or credit for things out of his control.

ive been waiting 40 years for democrats to do something that didnt line insurance companies pockets. im still waiting. how much longer until this ‘revolution’ youre expecting? i suspect ill be long dead.
biden is an ancient husk of a politician, doing the bare minimum that the dems have been doing for as long as i can remember. this is not revolution, this is conservatism.
its sad that this ‘bare minimum’ is now seen as ‘a lot better than not trump’

So what pressing matter caused KY’s republican legislature to pass that law in 2021? Gee, it must’ve been super important 🙄
Only following laws you agree with is what is wrong with both parties.
