John,
The greed of pharmaceutical companies is killing Americans because our healthcare system is rigged to provide them with billions of dollars in profits each year at the expense of everyone else.
Since they can charge any price they want for prescription drugs, they do. As a result, we pay the highest prices in the world, by far, for the medicines we use.
There is perhaps not a single medication that is more egregious in its pricing than insulin, with some manufacturers charging hundreds of dollars for a single vial.
This has led to diabetics rationing their insulin, skipping doses, or even going without the life-saving treatment altogether, resulting in severe health complications and, in many cases, death.
The Insulin for All Act, introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Cori Bush, is a critical piece of legislation aimed at ending the price gouging of insulin. The bill seeks to limit the price that manufacturers can charge for a vial of insulin to $20, making it more accessible and affordable to individuals with diabetes.
Access to affordable insulin is a basic human right, and it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone who needs insulin can access it without financial hardship. Become a grassroots cosponsor of the Insulin for All Act today.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that impacts millions of people worldwide, and they need insulin to help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent complications such as heart disease, blindness, and kidney failure.
The American Diabetes Association reports that the cost of insulin has tripled in the past decade, leaving many people struggling to afford their medication. As a result, 25% of people who need insulin to survive are forced to ration it, which can lead to serious health complications.
The Insulin for All Act will ensure that all individuals with diabetes have access to the essential treatment they need, regardless of their financial situation. ?
This legislation would be a significant step towards reducing the overall burden of healthcare costs and safeguarding the well-being of millions of people with diabetes in the United States. Become a grassroots co-sponsor of the Insulin for All Act today and help make a difference in the lives of millions.
Together, we can fight for a future where no one has to choose between their life and their wallet.
