Now, if he goes against $35 insulin, $2000 Medicare drug cap, annual drug negotiations for selected drugs, etc. that’s a different matter. But those were enacted by Congress, and are harder to overturn.

Most EOs are just for show and have little authority. I’d bet trump’s EO on reducing drug prices didn’t produce anything. I’d almost bet Biden’s didn’t either. They seldom do.

So this is not the $35.00 insulin ribrepin Jan 21 #17
