Huge update, john: pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly just announced they're capping the cost of their insulin at $35 a month!
After Kim and Congress capped insulin costs for seniors, drug companies are facing pressure to lower the cost of insulin.
As someone with Type 1 diabetes who has seen insulin prices skyrocket, Kim knows firsthand how this move will help millions afford the lifesaving medication they need. But we still have more work to do. We need all drug companies to put a cap on the monthly cost of insulin.

Team,
When Kim was 16 years old, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Like the other 1.6 million people in America with Type 1 diabetes, she depends upon insulin to stay alive.
However, over the last 20 years, the price of insulin has skyrocketed due to Big Pharma’s greed – from $40 a vial to upwards of $300.
Lowering the cost of insulin is personal to Kim. That's why she was proud to help pass a $35 per month cap on insulin for seniors that went into effect at the beginning of the year. This insulin cap will make life saving medication more affordable for thousands of Americans, but we can't stop there.
At his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden called for an insulin cap for all Americans. We got it done for seniors, now we need to finish the job and ensure every American can afford the lifesaving medication they need.
