Most Presidents do this type of order, people complained when Trump did literally the exact same thing. Also Obama, Bush etc. So a regulatory freeze is standard action we have seen multiple times before, but it's only bad if you don't like the incoming president. Just look at the language in these three orders, from 3 different Presidents, they are very similar because they are normal process, or all of these Presidents, including Trump, had handlers: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/01/26/E9-1639/memorandum-for-t...https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/24/2017-01766/memorandum-fo...https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/regu... The problem is this particular statement is the removal, as usual, of the additional clarifying information. Saying "aimed at lowering prescription drug prices for insulin and epinephrine" and leaving out where, and for who makes it seem like it lowers these medications for everyone. It doesn't. Its part of the 340B drug program and this, like most Federal run programs, has a positive effect on some and a negative on others. If you do not use a specific provider method this won't lower your insulin. I'd break down the recipient outcomes of 340B pharmaceuticals but nobody here would read it and claim it's wrong just because they want Biden to be the bad guy. I think with an added enforcement procedure this would be a great program, but saying it with no way to get it done is not really all that beneficial. Trump: 1. Subject to any exceptions the Director or Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget (the “OMB Director”) allows for emergency situations or other urgent circumstances relating to health, safety, financial, or national security matters, or otherwise, send no regulation to the Office of the Federal Register (the “OFR”) until a department or agency head appointed or designated by the President after noon on January 20, 2017, reviews and approves the regulation. The department or agency head may delegate this power of review and approval to any other person so appointed or designated by the President, consistent with applicable law.https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/24/2017-01766/memorandum-fo...Obama: 1.
