Health center advocates are trying to stamp out fast-spreading claims on social media that the Biden administration, in freezing a Trump administration rule, raised the price of insulin.
Facebook and Twitter have been filled with posts and counter-posts about the cost of insulin since Fox News on Jan. 23 published an article with the headline “Biden admin freezes Trump HHS rule meant to lower insulin prices.” The short article describes the new administration’s Jan. 21 decision to push back, from Jan. 22 until March 22, the effective date of the Trump administration’s rule to require health centers to provide insulin and injectable epinephrine to low-income patients at the price centers pay for those drugs under the 340B program.
