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.

Biden said he’d lower the cost of insulin with the stroke of his pen if Republicans just approved his Build Back Better Bill. They didn’t, but later they did pass that bill by calling it the infrastructure bill and the omnibus spending bill. Biden then used his pen to lower cost.

BOTH major parties are filled with corporate shills who are liars and work against the American people, and BOTH parties have had scandals that should have destroyed their parties, enabling us to form more representative parties. Why do they still exist? youtube.com/watch?v=FVLd0svU…
