I said it was course to be implemented and Joe killed it. When do you think Joe took office?
No, it did not remain in effect.
I have two kids in Tennessee - Memphis and Knoxville. Knoxville? Meh. It’s still not that big and it’s still a southern town through and through.
Shapiro on CNN now. He is so much better, so much smarter, so much better spoken than Walz.
The influential anti semetic wing of the Dems was not having it.

They’re going to wake up one day 20 years from now.
“Hey wait, since when does Texas have a larger GDP than California? Florida than New York? Tennessee than Illinois?”
Yes have a lot. Was just in central part of the state for nearly a week this past month, driving through a lot of different small towns. It's like a place where time stood still.
Not talking about Nashville or Knoxville
Did Biden Temporarily Freeze Trump Rule Lowering Insulin, EpiPen Prices?
In his first week on the job in January 2021, President Joe Biden issued more than a dozen executive orders.

He froze Trump's EO.
Went over your head. If there is a house fire that is burning and someone is doing something that is effective and you say, "You're doing it wrong" and proceed to pour gasoline on it, causing a larger fire, you don't get to take credit for the fire dying down a bit just because you stopped adding an accelerant later on.

It absolutely remained in effect. Do you even know what insulin and other diabetes supplies cost for those not on Medicare? I just replaced my son’s CGM tonight (they last ten days). That CGM costs almost $150 retail. His diabetes supplies retail for over $1,000 per month.

This brief describes the facts about actions taken under both the Trump and Biden Administrations related to capping insulin copayments for people with Medicare and explains the differences between their approaches.

I just posted a link to Goat - snopes, in fact - that showed Biden froze Trump's EO for 60 days. He never implemented it until he got his own plan in place.It absolutely remained in effect.

How do I know? My sister was looking forward to only paying $35 for her insulin and she qualified for Trump's program. She didn't get that until Biden's plan was in place.
Kamala Harris did not grow up in a family where “every dollar mattered”. That’s a lie, that lady just lied.
And yes, I do know. Both my sister and I are diabetic, although I keep mine under control and don't use insulin.It absolutely remained in effect.

I know what she pays for hers and she's not on Medicare.
How does it not bother you to lie so blatantly? We all have Google. We all can look it up and find that Noodle is telling the truth. What do you possibly think you gain by making such an ass of yourself?
I agree it's whacked. The reason I posted it was to put context to the "It's happening more in the south" question. I doubt it's even a quarter of those percentages for those kids that are truly "dependent" on those lunches. The link was just to show which states are using it the most.
It absolutely stayed in effect until 2023 when it was made mandatory for all Medicare recipients. Did you read the link I gave you? It lays it all out. Here’s another one that explains it for you.
VERIFYING the difference between $35 insulin caps under Biden and Trump
Both the Trump and Biden administrations enacted $35 insulin price caps for certain Medicare recipients. Trump’s was first, but Biden’s applies to more people.

Good for you. You obviously do not have Type 1 diabetes, as you can’t keep that “under control.” T1Ds die without insulin. Right now I’m checking his blood glucose by finger prick while his new sensor warms up. You know, to make sure he doesn’t have a hypoglycemic incident. T1D yet his last A1C was 5.4. Can you beat that?
This better be good because I am exhausted and need to go to sleep.
Not to get all dark on everybody, but does making insulin cheaper not just incentivize more fatties?
Some people have type 1. That’s tragic, no one knows what causes type 1. But there seems to be a correlation between fatty parents and type 1.

Yep. A Godsend. Didn’t have one initially, which was actually good training (giving 4-5 injections a day). But the pump gives him so much more freedom and control.
Please, for the love of God, do not turn this thread into a "my blood glucose management is better than yours" competition.
This has been more music, than speakers.
Can Kamala play the American people with enough circuses? Time will tell.

The advancements have been pretty good lately. Omnipods and CGMs…
Gotta hand it to the Dems, they are really making an effort to keep the patriotism at 10 in this convention. That's not on accident.
Ok, I’ll state the obvious. If an alien came here and watched the DNC they would assume the US is 70% black.
I don't even knw what you're trying to say here.Who are these "other people"? You're taking the word of these mysterious "other people" over the statements from former Trump Admin officials which Kelly has confirmed? You think Kelly, Esper and the others all got together and plotted to make up stories to sully the reputation of Trump because he's an honorable man and they aren't?
"Kelly set the record straight with on-the-record confirmation of a number of damning stories about statements Trump made behind closed doors attacking US service members and veterans, listing a number of objectionable comments Kelly witnessed Trump make firsthand.
“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France."
Look if you have no problem with the things Trump said, that's one thing. But don't pretend none of it never happened...
They are giving a tutorial on how to pronounce Kamala’s name.
Bill Clinton pronounced it incorrectly twice last night btw.
