Kentucky law capping insulin cost for many goes into effect

[daveman]

Dumbass, why would I comment if I were not?

Idiots comment all the time on things that don't concern them -- like Dragonlady the Canadian.

Meanwhile, I don't know the answer to your question. Productive people are forced to underwrite less-than-productive people all the time.

I'm truly sorry that you are that fucking stupid as to know not to assume that I am not affected by the topic at hand.

This may come as a shock to you, but I don't keep track of where USMB members live.

Neither do I, but my comments should have given you a fucking clue! I don't talk out of my ass, like Ace Ventura!

Never watched that movie.

You should. It funny as hell and will give you an insight into what it means to talk out of your ass. Either Pet Detective or When Nature Calls is hilarious!

My favorite Carrey movie is The Truman Show.

If that is true, why do I pay $98.00 a month for my insulin?

Check your formulary. A thing can be true whether one believes it or not.

• $35 for select insulins at both preferred and standard pharmacies

This law has noting to do with BBB, and the bill passed the Kentucky House of Representatives and Kentucky Senate without a single negative vote.

Your ignorance is amusing, if not totally expected. Sadly, you won't be able to whine "LIBERAL MEDIA!!1!" as this is from diabetes.org

House Embraces Historic Insulin Affordability Measures in Build Back Better Act

The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) hailed a major national victory today when the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act, including the most sweeping nationwide measure to date to limit out-of-pocket co-pays for insulin. The national co-pay cap, which ADA has aggressively promoted, would apply to Medicare beneficiaries, individuals on commercial insurance, and those covered by other group health plans.

The House-passed legislation creates an out-of-pocket co-pay limit of $35 per month for insulin. In the days before the House vote, nearly 15,000 ADA advocates contacted their representatives through the ADA’s Engagement Platform to urge support for co-pay caps and for allowing the government to negotiate drug prices with manufacturers.

my mistake,, is there a patent on insulin?? I thought its a substance created by the human body that is reproduced in a lab,,

The patent was sold for $1.00. Because it was always meant to be a low-cost treatment.

BBB is dead in the water, halted by a Democrat.

But it's funny, you looking to get credit for something that hasn't happened.

Meanwhile, in Kentucky, it has happened thanks to 100% support by Democrats and Republicans.

I will be buying some more insulin later this month. I let you know how much I have to pay!

I hope it's not too much. Government interference in the pharmaceuticals industry is what led to high prices to begin with.

Your failure is noted. I backed up my argument. You have nothing.

Has BBB been signed into law?

No?

Then you got nothing. Run along.

Do you not understand that I pay for my prescription coverage through my wife's insurance coverage through her employer? My employer's medical benefits are far worse than even Obamacare, which is garbage!

Not my problem, I made a declarative statement and proved.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No, it doesn't. Government isn't paying for the insulin.

Having the Govt control the price hardly seems a Conservative position.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I have type 2 diabetes and I can afford my insulin easily.
Biden fucked over the low income families who couldnt afford it after Trump made it available for them.

Trump actually never did anything about the price, his new rules did not even go into effect till he left office. Why did he wait so long?

Government interference in the market keeps the price high to begin with.
