Rely on insulin to keep you alive? well, get ready to pay even more for it, as the Biden regime has now put a 60 freeze on Trump’s HHS rule that lowered the cost of insulin prices. Just another reason to give “thanks” to all those idiots who voted for Biden. Oh and it’s not just insulin. It’s also a “pause” on the rule that also helped medical devices that helped protect premature infants from dying. Well done America!

From insulin to life-saving medical devices to last-ditch efforts to protect premature infants (including those from “live birth” abortions), multiple rules posted by the Health and Human Services Department in the final days of Donald Trump’s presidency are subject to a 60-day pause.
The halt on Trump-era rulemaking includes two controversial rules designed to curb high drug prices—one that changes the way pharmacy liaisons and drugmakers can pay each other and another that ties Medicare rates for expensive drugs to the prices paid in other countries.
A Wednesday memo circulated by White House Chief of Staff Ronald Klain said all rules, guidances, or other agency actions that didn’t take effect prior to noon that day—the official handover time from Trump to President Joe Biden—will be subject to review by the new administration before they can take effect. If the previous administration’s actions raise questions of “fact, law, or policy,” the designated officials now leading the agencies can further delay effective dates and consult with the Office of Management and Budget about other actions. The agencies can also open comment periods on those actions.
If there are no such questions, no further action is needed. The rule, proposal, or guidance can be considered active and effective, the memo said.
