Trump’s insulin order frozen, not scrapped, by Biden
Social media posts claim President Joe Biden overturned an executive order signed by his predecessor Donald Trump that aimed to lower insulin costs for US diabetics. This is false; Biden froze for 60 days the implementation of all federal rules created but not yet put into effect by the previous administration and, if applied, Trump’s proposed change would only cut drug prices for a limited number of Americans.
“30 million Americans has diabetes. Trump signed an executive order DRAMATICALLY lowering the cost of insulin. Joe Biden just rescinded a Trump’s order,” claims an ungrammatical January 23, 2021 tweet from an account that is currently restricted by Twitter for “unusual activity.”
