To be clear about it hnews does not like politics but it was blocked by Republicans.

There was little reason to block it and it is hard to imagine why they blocked it given how many people it could help. I tried to understand the logic but most everything I read were just out right lies. I have knowledge of this first hand because my wife takes insulin.

I saw this commend as [dead] and vouched for it, but you should realize that the gripe about "hnews does not like politics" is counter-productive.

I do agree that it's on-topic in this particular thread to have a discussion about the merits of policies like this and that can include highlighting the factions that support or oppose them (and the reasons and/or incentives that might be driving that support/opposition).
