EDITED ! -- I said "tough shit" to a neighbor today.

[KentuckyWoman]

Last edited Tue Jan 28, 2025, 01:11 AM - Edit history (1)

All my neighbors are on medicare or advantage plan. It's a senior village. One of the most outspoken of the MAGA supporters who lives here was crabbing at me this morning about the cost of her insulin. She filled Dec 27 - $10. Yesterday? $782.

TOUGH SHIT popped out before I could stop it. Loud enough for everyone to hear.

We had a short conversation after that. I did back track it a little because I really wanted her to see that her selfishness hurt her too. She got what she asked for. "Illegals" and "welfare queens" in need of insulin got cut off from a fair price. If no one benefits, that includes her.

I'm telling you, the MAGA geezers around here are not happy. Prices are going up, not down. The noise about invading Canada has them all upset. Firing inspectors and stopping agencies from informing us about health and safety issues has everyone on edge around here.

They got what they asked for. TOUGH SHIT.


EDIT TO ADD

Special thanks to Mrs. Toad - you mentioned a formulary change as a possible reason, since it turns out that provision for insulin was not affected. Too late today, but I'll mention that to her tomorrow. That is a great call out. THANK YOU.

Imagine what's coming next week...

62. Benefits

Reduction in SS/medicare benefits? Defunding of Medicaid?

[PatSeg]

73. Yes, he is implementing his agenda

at lightning speed. Can't say he's a slacker; he's fulfilling many of his campaign promises.

The best advice I ever gave my children was, "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it".

I still can't believe these idiots bought his BS again!

[bdamomma]

83. Project 2025

goons are executing these illegal sick manifestos. This will not have a good outcome.

We must not stay silent.

[PatSeg]

88. Any student of history (or even current events for that matter)

knows how this story ends. These "goons" are going to create a world that even they won't want to live in. It's a lose-lose for everyone. I'll never understand such people. It is truly a serious mental disorder.

[RainCaster]

99. Project 2025 had no controls

It looks like any company or lobbyists that wanted could add their wishes into that document with no oversight. Certainly there was never a look at the practicality or morality of what they are doing.

[PatSeg]

115. That's certainly how it appears

I didn't really expect too much morality from these people, but you'd think that at least they would be practical. In the long run, they will lose more than they will gain.

[RainCaster]

118. Project 2025 will go down in history...

It will be seen in all it's unedited glory, for all time.

[PatSeg]

125. Sadly, as "How we ended modern civilization for no good reason"

[Bluethroughu]

2. Tell them to start making signs and protesting.

[LisaL]

3. You shouldn't apologize to her.

She got what she voted for. It's not like they weren't warned about all this. That they screwed themselves up is one thing. But they screwed the rest of us by voting for Trump and I will never forgive them that.

[Attilatheblond]

9. When my insulin dependent brother dies from not being able to get insulin

those people would be wise to stay the fuck out of my way.

[murielm99]

137. That did happen to my brother.

It was expensive, so he started rationing it.

[Bird Lady]

39. next time ask her who she voted for

And then ask her how is that working out for her? Then tell her he told you who he is and what he was going to do and yet she voted out of hate and a feeling of superiority designed to hurt people. Stupidity and hatred is terminal, she earned her pain. No sympathy

[BigmanPigman]

92. That is the response my sister and I

are going to say when we hear anyone bitch about tRump in the future. She already said it to an old friend and it worked. The friend was silent after that since she knew my sister's point was spot on.

[Jack Valentino]

104. Maybe she just didn't hear all the things he had been saying...

Not everyone is nearly as tuned in to politics as we are---
but they should be.

Some people near the end of the campaign didn't even know that Biden was not running.

[Bird Lady]

114. sorry no pass

for willful ignorance.
none deserve anything but what they will get. Which is nothing

[Karasu]

122. Yes, they should be. No sympathy for people who COULD be engaged and educate themselves but actively choose not to.

[travelingthrulife]

128. They say they listen to every word trump says. No quarter for these monsters.

[BattleRow]

77. Let me guess..she was white,right?

Surely those folks wouldn't feel the brunt of Trump's rape and pillage.

6. Removing cap on insuli price will end my brother's life. He won't be able to afford staying alive. Didn't vote Trump

When the call comes that he has died, I might be doing a bit more than yelling tough shit to the maga idiots.

[oldtime dfl_er]

63. i'm so sorry

It's absolutely horrific. Many millions of innocent people will be harmed -- some to the point of death - by the morons who wanted to own the libs. There are no words.

[Attilatheblond]

65. Thank you. I am running out of siblings and losing my YOUNGER brother is gonna hurt

Passive by nature, I am losing my filters mighty fast these days. Not much time left on my clock, so at a point, being law abiding has less appeal. Pretty sure I am not the only one.

There's gonna be a huge number of people with nothing left to lose and they will be a bit difficult to deal with for the law and order reliant Billionaire Class.

[Linda ladeewolf]

95. Ely Lilly supposedly

Has a program for humilin that is less expensive, please look into it.

[IbogaProject]

84. Walmart has humilin N & R for cheap

Not great but that is always availible. There are also two state consortiums working to make cheep insulin.

[Keepthesoulalive]

7. She wanted to hurt others

Oh well.

[WhiteTara]

35. the rain doesn't fall on one man's house

said Bob Marley.

[doc03]

8. Did he do away with the $35 insulin somehow?

[Arazi]

72. Yes. An executive order Day One as promised

He kept that one (and the one about being a dictator)

He’s reneging on the other “good” day one promises like “no more inflation!” and “cheap gas and groceries!” and “ending all wars!” etc etc etc

[SheltieLover]

10. Is $35 insulin for seniors already history?

Greedy repukes!

Tough shit is right!
.

[SARose]

12. Yes

One of his steakhouse menu executive orders - day one.

Soooo all you “special” MAGATs aren’t so special now are ya?

And, yes, people will die.

[SheltieLover]

24. Omfg!

So disgusting!

Yes, people will die.

[Attilatheblond]

64. But the Billionaires need more tax cuts, so nobody above an age to be worked for their profot can be allowed to live

[SheltieLover]

68. Exactly

[BattleRow]

75. They are deemed "useless eaters" ...eugenics...then euthanasia.

Sig heile!

[brush]

11. Did a trump EO hike insulin prices that much? How did they rise so ridiculously high so suddenly?

[drray23]

14. Yes it was one of the executive orders.nt.

[Wiz Imp]

29. Didn't remove the insulin cap, but removed lower prices on a slew of other drugs.

Trump executive order voids Biden-era order aimed at lowering prescription drug costs

By: Danielle Kreutter
Posted 8:13 PM, Jan 23, 2025
DENVER — There have been strong reactions to President Donald Trump's executive order that rescinded a Biden-era executive order aimed at lowering prescription drug costs.

Biden's order instructed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to explore different ways to lower drug costs for Medicare and Medicaid programs. In response, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced a list of generic medicines that would be capped at $2.

That program was activated, and it's unclear if it ever will be now that the action has been voided by Trump. Denver7 reached out to spokespersons for the CMS and HHS, who said they are not responding to most media requests at this time.

“HHS has issued a pause on mass communications and public appearances that are not directly related to emergencies or critical to preserving health," the HHS spokesperson said in a statement. "This is a short pause to allow the new team to set up a process for review and prioritization. There are exceptions for announcements that HHS divisions believe are mission critical, but they will be made on a case-by-case basis.”

[calimary]

119. What total horse shit!

[LisaL]

13. By the way you can tell her that she hasn't seen nothing yet.

Trump is just starting. Wait till she finds out that her benefits are also cut.

[XanaDUer2]

15. Die

One less Trump supporter

[TheBlackAdder]

32. The GOP wants older people to die to free us their assets to be used by younger people.

[XanaDUer2]

37. They want old sick disabled ppl

To die too get us off ss and Medicare fill stop. Sorry this assholes meds went up but oh well. I'm confused bc i didn't realize this applied retroactivrly. No matter she ain't seen nothing yet

[Conjuay]

85. Killing off us seniors will improve the housing market as well.

[33taw]

16. $35 for insulin for those on Medicare is part of the inflation reduction act. That is not repealed.

[XanaDUer2]

38. Ty

I was confused. So y did her insulin go up

[Ms. Toad]

46. Probably her insurance company changed the brand that is eligible for the $35 cap.

They aren't required to cap all insulin - just a single brand. Since the last purchase was in 2024, the formulary probably changed Jan 1. She'll need to find which brand is now capped.

[KentuckyWoman]

135. THIS IS SO HELPFUL !!!

Thank you. SO much.

[WarGamer]

17. Maybe your neighbor lied?

Biden’s bigger health care initiatives, such as a $35 monthly cap on insulin, a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap on prescription drugs and Medicare’s negotiating drug pricing provision weren’t affected by Trump’s executive actions Monday.

[ShazzieB]

56. Thanks for setting the record straight on this.

My husband is an insulin dependent diabetic, and I was on the verge of panicking. Fortunately (for now, at least), we are on Medicare.

[SWBTATTReg]

94. Your posting just makes it clear to me (and perhaps others) that make sure when you are posting, that your

facts are indeed true, and can be easily verified. In this case, fellow DUers came to the rescue, and stated what really happened.

Slow down and don't panic, and make sure what you are posting is in fact, true. Otherwise, you'll panic a lot of us, we don't want that.

[Blue Full Moon]

18. It's always someone else to them.

They need to feel it and the republicans need to own it.

[Cha]

19. They got what they voted for and Now

they're "crabbing".. Tough Shit Indeed.

TY

[Vogon_Glory]

28. I'm not fond of saying "Tough Shit" or FAFO.

I was taught to believe that such language was vulgar. But saying “you got what you voted for” and (most often) “You’re old enough to know better” expresses my feelings about as well.


I’d like to say “PT Barnum was right,” but I doubt that most MAGA Magoos have the education or the smarts to understand what I was saying.

[Marthe48]

52. I'm saying 'tell me I'm wrong'

When I post things on fb.

[Vogon_Glory]

111. Since I'm not on Facebook, I'm not going to

say one thing or the other.

[33taw]

20. Veteran organizations protested the VA hiring freeze and Trump made an exemption. They need to speak up to their

reps, senators and the POS himself.

[stollen]

21. Seriously!?

What did Trump do to get that insulin price change?

[33taw]

26. Executive Order

[vanlassie]

30. Do you have a link?

This seems incorrect and we should confirm.

[33taw]

36. He didn't change the price of insulin. He Eliminated the $2.00 for generic drugs for people on Medicare.

Congress is trying to repeal the inflation reduction act that sets the limit on insulin at $35.

[Butterflylady]

22. And the countries will undoubtedly find others to trade with.....

Leaving us in the dust and who can blame them. When the shelves are empty, well , FAFO.

[Evolve Dammit]

23. I admire your restraint.

[Disaffected]

31. An astute first post.

Welcome to DU - we need a lot more critical thinking here.

[liberalla]

Thanks

[Nanuke]

27. No. Not true.

[thinkingagain]

33. My wish is that

Those who are putting together lawsuits against this admin
Would file one regarding
Firing inspectors and stopping agencies from informing us about health and safety issues

Because to me Americans have the right to health and safety if things aren’t inspected, that could cause us illness or death for example
those in charge of America are not doing their job and should be blamed

[chowder66]

40. Maybe she needs to call Medicare to have them investigate.

Seems like it could be a mistake or she's lying to you.

[Ms. Toad]

41. Most likely it was a formulary change.

Companies are required to have a single insulin available capped at $35/month. Because the last purchase was in 2024 and formularies on 1/1/2025, my guess is that the brand she was receiving was the $35 one in 2024 - and a different one is $35 in 2025. But, unless your neighbor figures out how to get back to the insulin that costs $35, she will be paying far more than the $2000 cap on meds - since off-formulary purchases don't count toward the cap.

Trump's executive order does not change either the $2000 cap on Medicare drugs or the $35 cap on insulin. Those provisions are part of the law passed by Congress. Trump cannot undo a law by executive order.

[crosinski]

69. That was very informative, thank you.

[alarimer]

42. Soon, coffee will also be unaffordable.

Trump has threatened 50% tariffs on Colombia for turning back two military planes of migrants (because they were military planes and not normal commercial planes).

So your neighbors will be mad about that too. But at least a lack of coffee never killed anyone, as far as I know. Can always switch to tea for now.

People are now entering the "finding out" portion. I can't really laugh because there will be a lot of undeserved collateral damage. Some, like my dad, will not learn their lesson because, for now, my parents are fairly insulated from a lot of these things. For now.

[FakeNoose]

71. High quality coffee comes from a lot of countries, not just Colombia

... although I will admit, Colombian arabica is my absolute favorite. Even Hawaiian coffee is quite acceptable.

I've accepted that changes are occurring in my life, and Chump is the cause of 98% of them. The sooner he dies or leaves office, the better off we will all be.

[alarimer]

74. Starbucks supposedly gets 100% of theirs from Colombia

But certainly a lot of coffee does come from Colombia.

[No Vested Interest]

90. Unfortunately, Vance would be no better - if you-know-who dies.

Might be worse - Vance is a good speaker and could easily be elected Pres., in fact, apparently, some R's already have Vance in mind to follow you-know-who.

[alarimer]

110. I think MAGA mostly hates Vance.

He really isn't sincere in anything. He just sucks up to Trump.

I think MAGA hates anyone not Trump. I don't think they will follow anyone else.

[BComplex]

91. Starbucks will have a fit if coffee goes up 50%. And I'm pretty sure they donate to politicians.

I hope it was just a threat....like he threatened to lower the price of eggs and then didn't.

[jayschool2013]

43. "You own this" OR

"Turn off _______________ (Fox/OANN/NewsMax)" would also work.

[ananda]

44. The stupidity and ignorance of Magats never lets up.

Now they're complaining because it's them getting screwed,
when it's been clear since 2015 that Donald Trump was
a selfish Nazi psychopath.

[LiberalArkie]

45. It should still be in effect per this article. Both Trump and Biden claim that they capped it at $35 for seniors.

Snip

The Inflation Reduction Act gave Medicare the power to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies for lower prices for certain prescription drugs beginning in 2026. It also caps insulin costs at $35 per month for Medicare beneficiaries and a $2,000 out-of-pocket annual cap for people enrolled in a certain drug plan.

Trump's reversal of the 2022 "Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans" executive order does not necessarily impact measures in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Since Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, it's unclear whether Trump's executive action will have any impact on the legislation's drug price caps, according to USA TODAY.

However, experts in the pharmaceutical industry have voiced concerns that the reversal could impact drug prices by curbing research into cost-reduction models and suggests that reducing drug prices is not a priority for the Trump administration.

[mackdaddy]

47. I could be a little more complicated like all medical billing.

Before her passing I took care of my mothers bills including medical co-pays.

She was on insulin and other expensive blood thinners so the total was six to 8 thousand per year which made her in and out of the 'doughnut hole' and some limits even 4 years ago.

But a big one was at the beginning of the year the co-pays reset and started over. So some of what this woman may have seen was she had already paid the co-pays for last year for her December purchase and they now started over so the new price might include all the new copays. And these copays may be much much higher with changes to her medical plan and whatever Trump did by taking a meat axe to all the programs Biden had put into place.

[Woodwizard]

48. Is this post real?

I cannot find any information on this already effecting billing.

I did find info saying it is not.

There is so much to find wrong that is happening embellished stories are not necessary.

[LilElf70]

70. I love it

when I read stories like this. The con man narcissist is finally getting called out. People are figuring out they got screwed, and didn't feel a thing. Isn't that a shame? That's how con men operate. It's too late now. Are ya ready for 10 bucks for a dozen eggs, 2 bucks an orange, head of lettuce 15 bucks? I hope you don't need a new roof anytime soon. It's coming. This whole con is about to blow up.

To those that knew this was going to happen, save now because inflation is going to go thru the roof. The weird part is these magat idiots still keep buying trump trading cards, fake guitars and watches, etc. I hope they find our what a scam this has been, before they go broke. Food is a necessity. Fake guitars are not. Gee,,,,,,, the stupidity is unbelievable.

[Aussie105]

76. MAGAts will complain. And cry 'not fair!'

Dems won't - we were expecting it, they weren't.

Trump is going out of his way to make America a worse place to live, he is doing it out in the open, and is proud of it.

Invoking the 25th is just days away, if there is enough backbone in the corridors of power for that to happen.

Truth be told, Repug voters thought they were safe and Trump would only hurt the others, the D voters, the brown people, the gender fluid people, the book readers, the thinkers, the 'not us' people.

Trump told his biggest lie there, he hates everyone equally, and wants to hurt everyone in America. Except his immediate family and the boot lickers.
And even they need to watch their step.

No one knows how you voted, there isn't a database with your name and how you voted a pharmacist can look up and charge different amounts for insulin based on that. (If the story is true the price has shot up.)

[paleotn]

82. Going to get worse on the healthcare front.

Wait until they repeal the ACA this year. Don't think they aren't seriously considering it. And it's not just those in the ACA market and expanded Medicaid who will suffer. Since business models for the healthcare insurance industry take into account the ACA existing, going on 15 years now, this will cause major disruptions in the market and much higher premiums for everyone. Including those of us on employer plans.

Elmo isn't smart enough to understand that Americans don't react well to pain, economic or otherwise, and tend to lash out at even minor inconveniences. Violently sometimes. There's already a good deal of pain for many Americans. To the point that a huge number of them think Luigi Mangione is a folk hero. They're sowing the wind. I hope that Dems are smart enough to harness the whirlwind. Hubris and going too far are always their downfall.

108. I wouldn't have said "Tough sh1t"

I would have said "Remember you asked for this."

It sounds a little less harsh and sinks in better, in my opinion.

[Ilsa]

109. We need to always give them the specifics of WHY they

are now getting screwed. She needs to know that $STrump rescinded the $35 max per month for insulin, and the pharmaceuticals are thrilled to raise that price. STrump was bought by Pharma and he gave them what they wanted, snd "to hell" with everyone else.

[barbtries]

112. of course the hurt will not stop with magats.

we are all in trouble.

and by the way boy it did not take long for big pharma to put the squeeze on. fucking predators with no soul only greed.

[Grins]

113. Me: "You voted Republican. You got what you voted for."

Been repeating Mencken’s line for years:

” Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard”.

I would have said, “So sorry. But you voted Republican!”

“Tough shit” also works!

My fear as Republicans begin to make life miserable for those who voted for them - some damn Democrat will jump in and try to stop them. Don’t!!!! Only when it starts to hit them personally will they open their eyes.

All that Democrats have to say is: “Toldja’!!!”

131. Thank you. I have diabetic friends, and I was concerned.

I'm still pissed off about reverting Denali's name to Mt. McKinley. It was a long battle to get the name changed to something Alaskans already used from that of a president who had no connection to the state. It was originally named by a gold miner who was fan-girling McKinley because he signed the Gold Standard Act into law. This legislation officially established gold as the basis for the U.S. monetary system.

On the other hand, the name "Denali" comes from the Koyukon Athabascan word meaning "the high one" or "the great one." Native Alaskans have used this name for thousands of years.

I imagine Felon47 acted because he undid Obama's success at restoring the mountain's name to its original one, which honored the traditions of Alaska natives. It was a racist twofer, screwing over two people of color with one stroke of the pen.

124. Still capped by law on medicare.

No, Trump did not get rid of Medicare’s $35 insulin cap
Despite online claims, President Donald Trump’s executive orders did not include removing Medicare’s $35 monthly out-of-pocket price cap, which is set by law.

MAYBE MAGAs should have paid attention to what TSF was saying he would do once elected!

Now, it's "tough shit" for ALL of us.

Maybe I should be rude more often.

136. Here in Texas

Here in Texas, they still applaud everything he does. And he has the news so full of what they want that they distracted from the reality of high insulin or eggs. Because "Trump has done more for America in 4 days than Biden did in 4 years" is the slogan. I gave up on these people.
