While speaking at an event last week, my glucose meter kept beeping. Usually, I try to hurry and silence it. But this time, I stopped to check my level in front of the room. Let me tell you why:
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes over 20 years ago. I found out when I woke up in the hospital after passing out in high school. I was there for a week.
Every day since, I've taken 2 forms of insulin just to stay alive, and I'm not alone. The CDC estimates that one in every ten Americans has diabetes. That's 37.3 million of us who depend on insulin for survival.
We've become used to predatory politicians like Rand Paul, who successfully fought to remove a $35 insulin price cap from the Inflation Reduction Act. What we need are more people who understand us in Congress.
I won't stand by while Republican leaders make life harder and harder for us while they profit. That's exactly why I'm running for Senate. Will you commit to a $5 donation to help get me there?
Contribute $5
Just to be clear, insulin should be free. The proposed $35 cap on insulin in the Inflation Reduction Act was the floor.
But Rand Paul made sure millions of hardworking Americans would get no relief from the burden of paying exorbitant amounts for our lifesaving medicine.
The only reason insulin is so expensive is because the higher price tag puts more money in the pockets of Big Pharma execs and their shareholders.
I don't think that's right, and the majority of Americans agree. As the next Senator for Kentucky, I will always push back against the business as usual model that puts our health last.
I'm asking you to stand with me and chip in $5 today so I can get to the Senate and fight for OUR interests, not corporate interests. Can I count on your support?
Together,
Charles
