Republican plan to kill Social Security
“Senator Ron Johnson wants Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block every year,” Biden wrote. “He’s the same guy who said if Republicans get control of Congress, they’ll try to get rid of the [Affordable Care Act] again — denying insurance to people with preexisting conditions. These guys never stop.”
Johnson said on a radio show this month that Social Security and Medicare shouldn’t be “mandatory” programs and should be subject to yearly renewal decisions in Congress. Johnson's comments are in line with the GOP Platform “An 11-Point Plan to Rescue America,”. Mandela Barnes, Johnson’s Democratic opponent, accused him of “want[ing] to strip seniors of the benefits they’ve worked their entire lives for.” - Market Realist

Republicans block insulin price caps in the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act. Why? Follow the money.
Republican senators voted down a cap on the price of insulin in the private market, removing it from Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act. Democrats had tried to preserve the provision to cap insulin costs at $35 for private insurers, but that vote failed due to Republican opposition. The legislation, however, still includes a $35 copay cap on the price of insulin for people 65 and older on Medicare. - NBC
"This is a kitchen-table issue. One in four Americans is forced to skip or ration doses of insulin and that's life-threatening. No one should have to choose between taking their medication as prescribed and putting food on the table or a roof over their head", said Nancy Pelosi (NPR) Why would Republicans block a measure that would help millions of Americans? Follow the money from Big Pharma to Republicans to see why you pay so much for drugs.
