Congress passed the Inflation reduction act which the G.O.P. opposed without the Democrats pushing it through we'd still be paying full price!! I wonder what the G.O.P. congress will do for Americans maybe raise insulin prices?
Thank you President Trump… Your hard work & business acumen negotiating with drug companies is finally paying off! ❤️🙏
Now do it to the internet. In Europe people don't pay constantly changing absurd prices for an essential service.
Thanks for the Trump regulation …
Eli lily doesn't deserve any thanks for this news
Elon Musk on the other hand…
That's great!
NBC's legacy will forever now only be known for being a regurgitating bought and paid for mouth piece for a tyrannical fascist regime. LMFAO How the mighty giants fall. BOW DOWN
They didn't have a f'ing choice! No thumbs up for any Pharma slime company!!
Still more than twice the amount of the next highest country. We're still suckers.
No. Fluffin. Way!
Twitter vigilantes start making those profiles for other companies to do the same. Guess Eli Lily knows if their patients are dead so is their profit.
And they are still gonna make Millions off it
Probably because people will start getting their insulin form Mark Cuban’s company at a much cheaper price… imagine the greed; $98 is crazy
So they were pressured into doing the right thing. What do they want? A parade? How about we just regulate these greedy companies into the dust?
Guess after their stock plummeted when a fake verified twitter account said "insulin is now free" damaged them so much since then they had no choice but to lower it. At least the public will be happy if not their fat stock holders.
Can this be codified so they DON’T hike it up again?
Those prices were from 2018!! What GREED!!! Not sure the %of Americans with diabetes 🤔 but probably pretty high, with the amount of obesity, not being the only factor, but!!! Time to start making healthy food costs more affordable ,than fast food
Corporate welfare pimping the country and it's citizens. Amerikkkan. SMH
$98 dollars wtf lol
Joe Biden is the best! He looks after old people.
that which is capped by the corporation can be uncapped by the corporation! Price reduction needs to be set by Congress to stick!
Trump lowers insulin cost for seniors, Sleepy joe rescinds it, then he lowers cost for insulin and says look at me! 🤣
This is called "Corporate Patriotism".. thank you.. follow through.
