In his State of the Union address, President Biden called out insulin, a treatment for diabetes that was developed over 100 years ago and, he said, costs about $10 a vial to make. Americans can pay over $1,000 for that $10 vial.
While he was successful at getting insulin costs capped at $35 per month for Medicare recipients, “Problem Solver” corporate sellout Democrats in the House and Kirsten Sinema in the Senate — along with every single Republican — blocked his efforts to extend that to all Americans with diabetes.

Molnupiravir is the new pill that’s been all over the news recently because it can cut hospitalizations and deaths of unvaccinated Covid-infected people by as much as half and doesn’t require folks to go to the hospital or an infusion center, like the monoclonal antibody treatment. Just take four pills every day for five days and you’re good.
