Summary

This Labor Day, many Americans are heading to work instead of enjoying the long weekend. As many continue to face soaring prices in grocery stores and higher pieces than a year ago at the gas station, working long hours or picking up second jobs has become a reality for many in the US struggling to support themselves and their families. To help those hurting from inflation, mass bipartisan efforts are being put toward creating more high-paying jobs in the U.S. tech and manufacturing industries -- a development that would financially benefit Americans and decrease the U.S.' reliance on countries like China. California Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna joins to discuss how inflation is impacting American workers, why becoming more independent would greatly impact America, and the reasons he believes the US should prioritize fast-growing industries such as tech and energy. In an effort to give relief to diabetic Americans, Congress announced a $35 cap on monthly insulin costs for Medicare patients. While Senate Democrats wanted to extend the cap to private insurance as well, they fell short of the 60 votes needed to pass the proposal. FOX News Medical Contributor and Professor at New York University Medical School Dr. Marc Siegel joins the Rundown to explain what makes insulin so expensive and how drug pricing works in America. He also discusses what the CDC hopes to achieve with their recent reorganization announcement. Plus, commentary from FOX Nation host Tom Shillue. Learn more about your ad choices.
