Didn't Trump already solve this issue in april?


The fault for the huge prices US costumers pay concerning healthcare is that insurance companies and pharma companies conspire to milk the system for every penny they can get. It's not innovation being shouldered by the USA that is blowing up the prices, or things like insulin, which is more than a century old, would be affordable and not go through the roof. It's just pure greed.

Takes action? Making demands with no legal backing strikes me as a lack of "action". It's just Trump bloviating.
Large liberal universities took Trump's talk seriously and have settled for big bucks.

No they didn't. Who are you trying to fool? They took Trumps actions of withholding funds seriously, not his talk.

If you don't see the difference between an empty threat and an actual disruption of funding then I can't help you with your comprehension.

We finally have a leader who doesn't just talk about cutting prices, but takes action.

Real action:

In 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act, which included a provision that requires all Part D plans to charge no more than $35 per month for all covered insulin products, and also limits cost sharing for insulin covered under Part B to $35 per month. Deductibles no longer apply to insulins under Part D or Part B. These provisions took effect in 2023 (January 1 for Part D; July 1 for Part B).
