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.

Not too thrilled. Our out of pocket is capped at only TWICE what the rest of the world pays.

It's high time! Insulin was discover 100 years' ago in Canada and released at a non-profit to benefit the world. The drug should be available to all at that price; but we must be grateful for small mercies!

That's good. AND 88% of our fellow citizens are metabolically unwell. Ever heard of the term "Neuromarketing"? Look up Dr. Robert Lustig MD to get him to explain it to you. Better put your seat belt on.

Actually, this was Trump who made this happen. Then Biden cancelled the program when he came into office so he could later reinstate.
