      Err, regarding the pregnancy registry I thought period tracking was included in P2025? That’s effectively pregnancy tracking.

        Yup!

        Also, there’s other things that kinda would require some sort of database.

        Like making sure that pregnant peeps carry to term and pop out a baby, you know. For reasons. Because the birth certificate isn’t enough…

        And a federal record of abortions, stillbirths and miscarriages. Which is also pregnancy tracking.

      Walz overstates the cost of insulin before cap

      WALZ: “They were charging $800 before this law went into effect.”

      The correction states the average insulin price was lower. However, the point in my mind was that there were companies charging $800+ for insulin when they were allowed to.
