Why claim you will do something your predecessor already did? Kamala lies.

"The Trump Administration's Program

In July 2020, Trump signed an executive order establishing the Part D Senior Savings Model," a temporary, voluntary program run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that let some Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cap monthly out-of-pocket insulin copay costs at $35 or less. It covered at least one insulin product of each dosage and type. 

The program began Jan. 1, 2021, and ran through Dec. 31, 2023. 

The Inflation Reduction Act Provisions

The Inflation Reduction Act, which Congress passed and Biden signed into law in August 2022, included an insulin provision that went further than Trump’s voluntary initiative.

The act did cap out-of-pocket costs of insulin for Medicare patients at $35 per month. But, whereas the Trump program applied only to certain Medicare Part D plans, the act mandated that all Medicare drug programs cap out-of-pocket insulin costs — including those in what’s known as Medicare Part B, which pays for medical equipment such as insulin pumps. The act’s insulin provisions took effect Jan. 1, 2023, for Part D plans; and July 1 of that year for Part B.

The act also mandated that the out-of-pocket price cap apply to all insulin products a given Medicare plan covers, not just a subset."
