Eli Lily caps insulin at $35 a month! This is pretty amazing. Kudos to Bernie and everyone else who worked so hard to make it happen. Thinking today of those who already died because they couldn't get enough insulin. There are 68,000 people who die each year from lack of healthcare in the US. 18 million people cannot afford to fill the prescriptions ordered by their doctors. Insulin capped at $35 is huge and important, but it's just the beginning. The goal is universal healthcare in America, just as there is in every other advanced democracy.
In 2019, I traveled by bus up to Canada with a group of diabetics to purchase insulin for a fraction of what they were paying here in the United States. Today, Eli Lily has significantly lowered its insulin price to $35 a month. Grassroots pressure works. Let's keep going.

I agree affordable health care should be a focus. However, what is more important is access to healthy food options (and education around bad food) so that people no longer get sick and so don't have to require access to "pharma-created" health products in the first place.

Why don’t you start focusing on soft drinks and the other causes of the need for insulin?

Fascinating that Biden removed the "cap" that Trump had put on insulin where Eli Lily could charge no more than the lowest price anywhere in the world and then place his own cap on it. Pure. Political. Theatre.
