Insulin = Life! Extend the 35$ Cap for Insulin. Approve the INSULIN Act now! A few weeks ago, the bipartisan INSULIN Act advanced out of committee. This brings millions of people with private insurance one step closer to a $35 monthly cap on insulin. But getting through the committee isn't enough. Congress still needs to pass it. Will you save constituents' lives by passing the INSULIN Act? For people who rely on insulin to stay alive, affordability shouldn't depend on what kind of insurance they have. Patients on Medicare have had a $35 monthly insulin cap since 2023. Now Congress has an opportunity to extend that protection to millions more people. For no ethical reason, the price of insulin is astronomical! We’ve seen families affected by diabetes struggle to make ends meet because of it. Big Pharma has plenty of resources to make its voice heard in Washington. We have something just as powerful: We, the People! Real people, for whom you work, are rationing medication, going without, and risking their lives because government favors rich oligarchs. Enough! Get the INSULIN Act over the finish line Now. Thank you in advance for your Leadership in this matter.
