“It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Biden's deputy campaign manager said.

…

“The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Fulks said.

Biden has been poised to run on what has been described as the strongest abortion rights platform of any general election candidate as he and his allies look to notch a victory in the first presidential election since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.

Last month, Biden seized on a case in Texas, where a woman, Kate Cox, was denied an abortion despite the risk to her life posed by her pregnancy.

“No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” Biden said of the case. “But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period.”

    Your link doesn’t mention the word insulin once…

    So I googled it…

    Apparently trump is the one who’s did that, and Biden stopped it as soon as he took office.

    And two years later, Biden stopped obstructing it, and now wants credit for that like he made it happen?

    That’s a terrible example of Biden getting stuff done…

      That’s a perfect example of what centrists want us to give Biden credit for.

        It’s straight up sociopathic to expect people to be grateful Biden only obstructed it for two years because it was Trump’s idea.

        Like, trump is obviously a giant piece of shit.

        But it’s even worse to stop one of the handful of good things he did for years and then expect people clap when you step aside and let it happen.

        Really highlights just how little Biden has actually accomplished when this is what they have left it hold up as an accomplishment

          It draws into question all the other things they list as “accomplishments,” like giving him sole credit for the UAW’s accomplishments because he showed up for a photo op.

              I hope unions accomplish what Democrats refuse to.

            And he only showed up because Fain threatened to not endorse Biden.

            Fuck Joe Biden. Fain for president.

      They’re referring to the $35 monthly insulin cap contained within Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. Perhaps the Department of Health and Human Services is a good enough source for you?

      Effective January 1, 2023, out-of-pocket costs for insulin are capped at $35 per monthly prescription among Medicare Part D enrollees under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). A similar cap takes effect in Medicare Part B on July 1, 2023.

      Bit of advice: If you’re not familiar with a situation, you should do deeper research than a quick Google search and stopping the moment you find an unrelated article that affirms your bias.

        We stopped the price gouging on insulin!

        For a subset of Medicare recipients.

      I assume he stopped blocking it because his good friend Manchen’s daughter is no longer CEO of the epipen company.
