This is the opening if Democrats will only take it. Shapiro's own fans blasted him for the "leftist" narrative that Musk just expressed. This is a hard-hitting reality that affects everyone. It can bust political gamesmanship. You thought the eggheads were a surprising political force. The price of eggs has nothing on the price of health care. And the devastation and desperation it invokes.

If Democrats embrace this fully (they're half way there) and drive it as an ongoing theme for the next four years, it could become a rallying cry that could out-shout the "border security" bullshit. And unlike the wall and culture wars - actually have positive effect on people's lives.

@Jay Bryant fair point. But Biden did take opening shots on insulin among 50-odd additional common prescription drugs. Democrats are willing to move in this space. I honestly don't know what the political blowback is for that (we know money is the fuel of politics - Citizens United, etc, etc.). But if Centrist Democrats were already willing to dance on the edges then its unlikely to be THAT strong a headwind.

The possibility is there.
