Friend,
Pharmaceutical price gouging is one of the defining tragedies of our generation.
Price gouging on insulin, specifically, is so wildly cruel and unusual it was found to be a violation of domestic and international law1. Fortunately, some of our politicians are acting. This week, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Cori Bush are announcing legislation that would make it illegal to sell insulin for more than $20 a vial. ADD YOUR NAME and become a grassroots co-sponsor of the Insulin for All Act Today!
The Inflation Reduction Act has scared Eli Lilly into saying they’ll lower prices on insulin. Frankly, we’re not interested in the corporate promises from a company filled with killers2. Insulin was created to save lives, not turn sociopaths into billionaires. The time to act on this problem was decades ago, so we don’t have a moment to waste: pass the Insulin for All Act and ensure that not one more person ever dies rationing insulin!
