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.

Only for those on Medicare 65 and over. Doesn't include the insulin- like peptides

Later this morning, I saw a tweet from a member of Congress who talked about writing the bill that eventually led to this result. I still need to know more about her work, and its place in gaining this result. But I honestly think she deserves the credit and not Bernie Sanders.

📢 Today, because of my bill to cap insulin at $35 a month, Eli Lilly has announced they have cut the costs of their insulin by 70%. No one should ever have to choose between paying for their medicine or their mortgage. This will save lives.

Marianne Williamson will also say “the DNC rigged it against me” like Bernie sanders did in 2016 to try to help trump win again. But it won’t work. Dark Brandon has the republican-enabling left figured out.

Trump did the same while in office and Biden reversed it upon arrival so he could take credit two years later. 🤔

You cancelled Prez Trump's cap on insulin and diabetics suffered for 2 years so that you could take a victory lap!!!
