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.

Trump made this happen, the Biden made it U.N.-happen.
Bernie has researchers and other staff, wonder why he didn't hire Nina 🤷🏽‍♀️

INSULIN HAS BEEN FREE OF CHARGE TO THE PATIENT IN THE UK 🇬🇧 SINCE 1948 UNDER THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE. YES, 1948. 1948. 1948. 1948. YES, 1948.
Kudos to President Biden.

Kudos?! He just saved peoples lives. I think he deserves a little bit more than "Kudos". Get out of the way and back someone who has worked their whole life to help others.
