The Health and Human Services Department is delaying the start date of a rule about affordable medications. This rule, initially set to start on January 22, 2021, will now take effect on March 22, 2021. The delay aligns with a presidential memo that asks for extra time to review recent rules. This rule requires health centers to provide insulin and epinephrine at reduced prices to low-income patients.
Simple Explanation
The government is taking more time to think about a new rule that will help people get important medicines like insulin at cheaper prices, but this means people have to wait a little longer for it to start.
