And herein lies the problem with COPAY caps (as Kennedy is pushing) vs PRICE caps (as Bush and Sanders introduced). Copay caps cost the government billions in taxpayer money, which is handed directly to the insulin makers. Price caps lower the price for all and save billions.

The Senate can pass the Affordable Insulin Now Act of 2023—if my colleagues agree to reduce the budget by the amount needed to pay for it.

I get into the recent history of those disappointments a little, and dig a little under the surface to see how CA's new Cal Rx plan is going. armandalegshow.com/episode/califo…

I have a story out on An Arm and a Leg this morning. It's about California's plan to make its own insulin. It's a plan I've been really intrigued by since they started talking about it a little over two years ago. But cautiously so...

100% of Type 1 diabetics need insulin to survive, as do millions of Type 2 diabetics. Insulin should be affordable. Other treatments for diabetes should be affordable. In conclusion, fuck this take trying to pit diabetics against each other. REGULATE PHRMA. Full stop.

Laws that make insulin cheaper for patients are a great idea. But in their current version, they could lead to even more diabetes-related deaths overall, @MikeRoseMDMPH writes. on.theatln.tc/EnwdeoP

On any given day you can see people without diabetes calling the fight for #insulin4all 'cancel culture', a 'political football', a 'wedge issues' and all host of other disparagements. I've always thought it is a fight for basic human decency and our inherent human rights

a) It’s important to note that there’s no current proposed to cap the PRICE of insulin only co-pay caps. b) There is absolutely zero reason for insulin to be left out. This is a life or death situation and we are not political pawns.

NEW, IMPORTANT - INSULIN CAP: The fate of the insulin price cap in the reconciliation bill will be determined in real time, on the Senate floor, per multiple sources involved.

Daily reminder that insulin is $300+/vial and neither party has introduced legislation to lower the price.

.@Degree will donate $50,000 to Achilles! “The generous donation will empower more athletes with disabilities to get to the start line and achieve their race goals. Like Degree, we're committed to breaking down barriers to achievement," says Emily Glasser, Achilles CEO.

One in five athletes that run a marathon will not finish. That's why @Degree is giving three runners a second chance at completing their first marathon. At @theSFmarathon, these runners will get the chance to show the world that they're #NotDoneYet.

The greatest battle in MPO history. Kevin Jones vs this exact tree.

While we are disappointed that this latest legislation does not live up to its promise, T1International will continue to advocate for a true insulin price cap and legislation that protects EVERYONE with diabetes. Read the full statement for our response to the INSULIN Act.

One of the most amazing sporting events I’ve seen in person. Have never felt 150K people collectively stunned (until now).

The overhead view makes Rich Strike's comeback for the upset @KentuckyDerby win look even more incredible. 😮 #KyDerby | @ChurchillDowns

Insulin price gouging has become so extreme that it has become hard to even visualize. In person, this gouging looks like unpaid rent, food not eaten, and lives lost. It doesn't have to be this way. Share with your community and encourage everyone to join the #insulin4all fight.
