Insulin costs about seven times as much in the U.S. as it does in peer countries, and costs have tripled over the past decade. And the costs can be detrimental – about 14% of diabetics in the U.S., nearly 1.2 million people spend at least 40% of their income (outside of food and housing costs) on insulin. Many people are forced to ration their doses, or simply cannot afford insulin at all, all because we refuse to rein in Big Pharma – and that can be deadly.
American families are struggling. What Big Pharma is doing is not just unethical, it is life-threatening. We must have access to affordable medication. Congress must step in and cap insulin prices for all immediately, regardless of insurance status.
