1. Since Biden's 2022 order, CMS had been planning out and preparing to test (for 2 years! ...at what cost to taxpayers?) three models to lower prices. None of them had fully gone into effect. Therefore, current Medicare and Medicaid enrollees will not see their drug prices go up.
2. Biden order applied to Medicare and Medicaid enrollees only. Other affordable drug policies, such as the $35 per month cap on insulin costs, were not affected by Trump’s executive order. (Biden did, however, rescind Trump's cap on insulin prices after delaying it for 18 months. He later added a similar cap so he could take credit for it.)

Because it was a COVID rule and COVID is FUCKING OVER.

Trump made his money in the private sector and made far more than he makes as president. A more reasonable concern would be politicians who make all their money through politics, don't you think?

He did far more to help Americans than Biden did.

He's not. He's slowing the spread of those expensive (wouldn't even exist without subsidies), inefficient, constantly-in-need-of-repair eyesores.

It's a net loss for Trump, as noted above. Why do you not have issues with ALL OTHER POLITICIANS who profit off of politics.

Hillary Clinton still has security clearance, ffs.

Declare a national energy emergency, a first in U.S. history, which could unlock new powers to suspend certain environmental rules or expedite permitting of certain mining projects.
Attempt to reverse Mr. Biden’s ban on offshore drilling for 625 million acres of federal waters.
Begin the repeal of Biden-era regulations on tailpipe pollution from cars and light trucks, which have encouraged automakers to manufacture more electric vehicles.
Roll back energy-efficiency regulations for dishwashers, shower heads and gas stoves.
Open the Alaska wilderness to more oil and gas drilling.
Restart reviews of new export terminals for liquefied natural gas, something the Biden administration had paused.
Halt the leasing of federal waters for offshore wind farms.
Eliminate environmental justice programs across the government, which are aimed at protecting poor communities from excess pollution.
Review all federal regulations that impose an “undue burden” on the development or use of a variety of energy sources, particularly coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, hydropower and biofuels.
Almost all of these reduce costs to consumers. If you're not a rich fuck who doesn't give a fuck that everything costs 20% more than it did 4 years ago, you should support most of this. I do agree that offshore drilling could be delayed, at least. If Deepwater Horizon events can be 100% prevented, then go for it. I'm in favor of nuclear energy above all others. Biomass ( :ROFL2 ), wind farms, toxic solar panels, etc are trash.
"Environmental justice" :facepalm

What power does the WHO give anyone? Don't they just review data and give recommendations?
