Congress: lower skyrocketing insulin costs!
Members of Congress
37 million Americans have diabetes, but insulin, the lifesaving drug that many diabetics must take daily, has grown increasingly expensive. Monthly costs can easily add up to $1,000 or more, even for people with insurance, and many diabetes patients ration their medicines or discontinue them because they just can’t afford it.
A bill to lower the cost of insulin to a maximum of $35 a month would be a lifeline for millions with diabetes. It passed the House of Representatives last month, and the Senate is expected to vote any day. Add your name to call on Congress to help American families by keeping insulin prices down.

American families are struggling and the skyrocketing cost of insulin is pushing millions more Americans to the brink. Far too many of the 37 million Americans with diabetes are having to ration insulin, risking kidney failure, loss of limbs, and even death.
In the United States, it’s unacceptable that insulin costs eight times more than other high income countries. We urge you to extend a lifeline to millions of Americans with diabetes and pass the Affordable Insulin Now Act without delay.
