  They thanked her so much they redistricted her right out of there. (She did win in her new district, at the expense of another democrat)
context: Also, if you’re 65 or older, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, the shingles vaccine is now available at no cost. 
  In 2022, it cost around $400. 
  Please tell your parents or grandparents. >
  
  My sister got the latest shingles vax last year at CVS for free and she wasn’t 65 >
  
  That’s awesome! It should be free everywhere for everyone. >
  
  It's not free, the cost is just shifted to premiums. 
  Drug prices are messed up due to how PBMs negotiate rebates >
  
  Why isn't this for everyone? >
  
  Which is funny because the anti-vax crowd, which is now largely Republicans, are constantly posting “you’ll make the Covid vaccine free but not insulin or cancer drugs?!?!?” as if it’s some sort of conspiracy, directly after voting for the people who explicitly make that the case >
  
  If insulin was free they’d find a way to convince people it has micro chips in it. It’s about winning even if people have to die along the way. >
  
  Thus killing only Republicans? >
  
  Sounds to me like insulin's mostly microchips. >
  
  Listen, I got my shots, so why the hell does the 5G service, wherever I go, suck so much ass? >
  
  You probably need more shots or to go on a second date with Bill Gates. >
  
  Wait when did ....
  Microsoft shutdown noise, followed by a dial tone
  Microsoft-up noise, followed by my waking up
  I'm sorry, what were we discussing? >
  
  Insulin should be free. Diabetics need it to live. >
  
  All healthcare should be free. >
  
  Right...that's what government is for, to provide for its people. >
  
  There is no government without the people. They seem to be forgetting that. >
  
  They didn't forget, they just have a different definition of people. >
  
  Regular insulin should be free in the United States. >
  
  Try getting therapy or counseling for depression and and anxiety it’s 4 to 500.00 dollars an hour >
  
  Where do you live that it’s so high? My ex is a therapist and charges 60$ an hour for uninsured. Then splits that with her practice. >
  
  Anything remotely that affordable near me has a 6 month wait-list, especially for men. >
  
  Pardon my ignorance but do therapists charge differently for men vs. women? Or only take fewer men as patients? >
  
  
  do therapists charge differently for men vs. women?
  
  I assume that would be quite illegal unless they can prove that they spend more hours/resources for men vs women. >
  
  Not sure about the legality of charging differently, but around me, many therapists advertise that they only accept women as clients, which seems to be ok from a legal standpoint. >
  
  Why only seniors?
  American healthcare system is a dystopia. >
  
  
  Why only seniors?
  
  Because the GOP wouldn't support it for anyone else. >
  
  Even if you’re a senior who benefits from this, how can you think this is OK and support the gop? >

  “But, I worked for this. I paid into it my whole life!!  Why should the government give this to people who didn’t work for it???”
  —The usual explanation. >
  
  Meanwhile, almost all senior citizens on Medicare get more out of it than they paid in, but boy oh boy, don't try to point that out to them. >
  
  It's progress, but it is admittedly frustrating to see only the seniors benefit when this could be benefitting people under 65.
  I get that it's the GOP's fault for this, but it's infuriating all the same. >
  
  Trump announced it as an election bribe/policy but then he lost.  Republicans then slow walked the relevant legislation until it finally got passed as part of budget reconciliation which then took a while to come into effect. >
  
  I love the irony of this quote from the link that guy you replied to provided:
  
  Trump also used the announcement to disparage former Vice President Joe Biden, his likely 2020 Democratic opponent, claiming that "Sleepy Joe can't do this, that I can tell you."
  
  Looks like "Sleepy Joe" came through where Trump did not, yet again. The Democrats are always there to clean up the mess the Republicans leave them when they're voted out of office. >
  
  It's crazy how things like this happens in a rich country as US. In my country (Brazil) insulin is free for those who need and we are a development country. I can't understand someone vote for a politician who negate a basic things like this. We have a lot of problems but the last guy who tried to diminish the population access to health system gave up after protests around all over the country. Guys, this is basic and you should demand it. >

  Impossible with a Republican-controlled House and Supreme Court. The next two years will be nothing but government shut downs, Hunter hearings, and gridlock, with no progress from Congress whatsoever, sadly. >
  
  diebetic here - always vote and never vote republican
  they want to kill you and rob your corpse. period >
  
  What if the federal government decided to produce it's own insulin? >
  
  So in America you have to be legitimized as poor before you can have a medication that was discovered a 100 years ago and is prevalent and cheap worldwide but costs an insane sum of money…in America. 
  We could do a paragraph on guns and health care too. Only problems in America.
  Edit: my point, this isn’t a new law, this is a grotesque admission of failure by a so called leading nation and a joke for an announcement. >
  
  The guy who invented insulin intentionally didn't patent it because he wanted it to be affordable to everyone. He would be so sad to see what's been done with his discovery. >
  
  Meanwhile young, poor people with diabetes are invited to die. >
  
  Everyone else, drop dead or go broke. >
  
  Bruh these insulin pills are fucking insane. $110 per pen?!?! $500 for a 25 day supply?!?!??!!???!!!!!! This is a damn Porsche payment! This is a damn robbery and the executives of these companies should be in jail. What’s the difference between what they are doing and PharmaBro? Insulin execs boosted prices over a longer time? It’s still medics extortion. It’s so messed up. It’s so unAmerican and simply wrong. >
  
  We just need fucking universal healthcare already. All citizens are entitled to healthcare. It is a human right. >
  
  Yay the absolute bare minimum! >
