    U.S. House approves bill setting strict cap on insulin costs.
    Reuters (Center) • Factual Grade 72% • 2 min read

    By a vote of 232-193, with few Republicans supporting the measure, the House approved the bill that would cap patients' out-of-pocket costs at $35 a month for their insulin. Currently, monthly supplies of the life-sustaining medicine average around $375 and can go as high as $1,000, causing some people to skip needed doses. Nearly 1.9 million Americans with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day.
    ...
    The legislation would still have to be considered by the Senate, which is crafting a much broader bill. Republican Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers dismissed the legislation as a "government drug-pricing scheme; part of a socialized medicine approach that would lead to fewer cures" while raising health insurance premiums.
    ...
    Medicare, the U.S. government program for those age 65 and older and the disabled, could have saved more than $16.7 billion from 2011 to 2017 on insulin purchases had it been allowed to negotiate discounts with drug companies, according to a congressional report released last December.

Context: House passes bill to legalize marijuana at the federal level.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - After working in the addiction treatment field, it is clear that while no drug is "safe," marijauna is not the bogeyman it has been made out to be, and actually has a safer profile than many pharmaceuticals and definitely alcohol. In addition to real medicinal uses, it can be used recreationally without substantially adding to the burden of societal problems that we already see from drug use or abuse. We could also benefit from the myriad taxes that could be collected from those who purchase it legally.


No - I support recreational use of marijuana, but not until an instant and reliable test is widely available. The technology must dete...



Yes - If marijuana is, in fact, a gateway drug, then I would argue that it would become less of one whe...
