John,

Nearly 7 million people in the United States rely on insulin to stay alive. The inventors of the drug believed it to be a common good, and sold the patent to a university for $1 because they wanted everyone to be able to afford it and have access to it.

Thanks to corporate greed, the price of insulin has skyrocketed over 1,000% since 1996 and at least 1.3 million Americans report having to ration their supply -- putting their lives in serious danger. All the while, the three major insulin manufacturers raked in profits of $21 billion.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) have introduced legislation that would prohibit manufacturers from charging more than $20 for a vial of insulin, the Insulin for All Act.

Add your name to become a grassroots co-signer of the Insulin for All Act and demand Congress expand access to this critical, life-saving medication.

The most common types of insulin cost 10x more in the United States than any other developed country -- including our neighbors to the north in Canada.¹

And while intense public pressure made Eli Lilly and other drug manufacturers reduce the price of several insulin products by 70%, most of those price reductions don’t kick in until next year. And, even then, Big Pharma could choose to raise their rates again at any time.²

That’s why we need laws to protect people from Big Pharma greed and price gouging.

Become a grassroots co-sponsor of the Insulin for All Act to stop deadly corporate price gouging and make sure everyone has access to this life-saving medicine.

Thank you for all you do to advocate for working people, the aging, and vulnerable communities,

Deborah Weinstein
Executive Director, Coalition on Human Needs
