Reply to California moves to cap insulin cost at $30, start manufacturing naloxone by ElectrikDonuts

> A 10-milliliter vial of insulin will be available for no more than $30, pending approval by the US Food and Drug Administration, says the release.

So every time I read these articles I always wonder the same thing. Is this cost to the end user, or to the insurance companies? Like is the insurance company still paying $100 and my copay is only $30?

"You do know that tRumP signed an executive order to reduce insulin prices

And biden then froze that right...."

That's your claim, right? I didn't see you post any sources for it, but others have posted sources to counter your statement here. It would take ten seconds to prove apparently, so why didn't you prove it

The burden of proof is on the claimant, friend

I'm having trouble believing the power density of anything using atmospheric hydrogen would be cost competitive with any kind of other power production. And using synthetic hydrogen would necessarily be less efficient than through straight combustion. Still an interesting discovery but the application suggestions are clearly sensationalised

Those executive orders only ordered the HHS to make recommendations to Congress...

See the part with the Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress? Laws are necessary for powers and that's where the budget and enforcement powers are.

The POTUS doesn't have the power to just dictate drug prices whenever they want on their own. It's not rocket science how the US government works.

..."We've known for some time that bacteria can use the trace hydrogen in the air as a source of energy to help them grow and survive, including in Antarctic soils, volcanic craters, and the deep ocean" Professor Greening said. "But we didn't know how they did this, until now."

In this Nature paper, the researchers extracted the enzyme responsible for using atmospheric hydrogen from a bacterium called Mycobacterium smegmatis. They showed that this enzyme, called Huc, turns hydrogen gas into an electrical current.
