People voted for Trump to raise prices. In his first hours, Trump rescinded Biden's rules that delivered lower prices for medications to those on #medicare and #medicaid. On day one, Trump is delivering higher prices. Yet, I don't see much outcry from Conservatives. It's almost as if this wasn't ever about inflation or prices.

@augieray There’s not outcry because that’s not what the Executive Order does. You’re a good guy, and I like a lot of the things you post here, but we can’t just be out there saying things that aren’t true. What Trump stopped was an EO that asked HHS to look and see whether or not some testing that HHS did in the past might lower costs. The cost lowering provisions of IRA are not touched by this.

@rlpaulprodn Media reports say this will raise drug prices. I think you are TECHNICALLY correct but perhaps ignoring the IMPACT of what Trump has rescinded.

It's like saying, "He didn't hit someone with a bat--he only swung the bat and it struck someone."
