Just as the prices of drugs such as insulin in the United States have fallen, and surveys show that American voters generally believe that President Biden deserves the credit, former President Trump said that the credit actually belongs to him. When he was in office, he first proposed the plan, and Biden just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his labor. On the 8th, Trump posted on his "Truth Social" that it was "I and the Trump administration" who fought for millions of people to lower the price of insulin. Biden had nothing to do with it. The other party "is trying to attribute what others have done to himself." Analysis describes that Trump and Biden will hold their first presidential debate on the 27th of this month. Since the issue of medical and drug prices affects people's livelihood, it is not ruled out that Trump hopes to dominate public opinion this time and create favorable conditions for the debate. According to data, Trump signed an executive order in his last year in office to set the upper limit of insulin prices at $35. After taking office, Biden suspended the implementation of many policies of the previous administration, and then issued a series of measures to control drug prices in the 2022 "Inflation Reduction Act" and capped the price of insulin in the "Medicare" plan at no more than 35 yuan per month. Biden even promised to expand this policy to all those in need when he delivered his State of the Union address in March this year. On other health care issues, Trump has been trying to repeal the Obama-era Affordable Care Act (ACA) while in office, but has not announced a replacement plan. He also made this promise in this year's election, but never mentioned the details of the policy. The latest poll by the private organization Kaiser Family Foundation shows that Biden's support on health care issues is 11 percentage points ahead of Trump, and he also maintains an advantage on other health-related issues.
