yes, he passed a law that allows medicare to negotiate drug prices and cap the price of certain drugs like insulin to make it more affordable to people on medicare (the majority of aged people in the us) and he also expanded access to medicaid for the homeless and for veterans

*- For a maximum of 10 drugs whose prices will be impacted by 2026:

 

**- The legislation passed was not a price cap on insulin, but a copay cap which will have severe inefficiencies at expanding access and reducing costs.

 

*** - Medicaid Expansion was largely done via COVID emergency measures which Dems have since let expire and have no intentions - as know of - of bringing back, actually seeing one of the largest expulsions of people from Medicaid in recent times.

if you spend your time looking for reasons why legislation doesn't go far enough you'll always find something to ***** about 

 

what biden has gotten passed with the slim majority he has in congress (specifically the drug prices) has been major. the alternative would be a republican president actively trying to dismantle the ACA and funding for medicare

A PRICE cap is inherently different than a COPAY cap. What you've described is not even a difference in "going far enough" but 2 completely different mechanisms that someone would only confuse if completely unfamiliar with how healthcare pricing works.

 

A copay cap does nothing to stop drug companies rom increasing prices, which is what happened In Obamacare's coverage mandates for other various drugs. Insurers then shift the costs that they incur due to the drug companies back to increases on monthly premiums:

The actual effective measure, that would actually ensure insulin as a  right for 100% of diabetics and not something like 1/5th of all diabetics, would be to cap the actual price that drug companies can sell the drug for.

 

If you can't use accurate language when praising legislation, then maybe your praise on said legislation isn't that accurate to begin with.
