Following President Biden's commitment at his last State of the Union address to cap the cost of insulin, significant progress has been made towards reducing the financial burden of insulin for Americans. The administration's efforts have led to a notable decrease in insulin prices for the general public, not just those on Medicare, with many manufacturers starting to lower their prices. The President's lower cost prescription drug law aims to combat price gouging by requiring drug companies to pay rebates back to Medicare. This initiative has been praised for its potential to save lives and reduce expenses for millions of Americans, particularly seniors who previously faced up to $400 a month for insulin, now capped at $35 per month. The bipartisan push in the Senate, led by figures such as Senator Warnock, seeks to extend these caps to all Americans, reflecting a unified effort across various political spectrums to make insulin affordable. More than 4 million seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries are now paying $35/month for insulin, and individuals like Eduardo Carrasco have seen their insulin prices drop from $83 to $35.
.@POTUS’ lower cost prescription drug law cracks down on exorbitant price gouging, requiring drug companies pay rebates back to Medicare. Let's keep the pressure on Big Pharma and put more money back in the pockets of Americans. #SOTU2024 https://t.co/3WzGRE0HSc

Under @POTUS’s leadership, we’ve made big strides to bring down the price of prescription drugs. Let’s keep going and pass my End Price Gouging for Medications for a fair price on every drug for every American. #SOTU2024 https://t.co/IUX6JHRFNB

Access to insulin is a matter of life and death for millions of Americans. Thanks to @POTUS and Democrats, insulin is capped at $35 for Medicare recipients. Let's go even further and pass my bill, the INSULIN Act, to lower the cost of insulin for more Americans. #SOTU https://t.co/LixY48A83k
I want to cap the cost of insulin at $35 / month for EVERYONE who needs it. -@POTUS #SOTU https://t.co/qUoIg6mt4Q
Georgians sent me & @POTUS to Washington, and we capped insulin costs for seniors at $35/month. Now I’m leading a bipartisan push in the Senate to cap insulin costs at $35/month for everyone who needs it. Glad to have the President on our side in this fight. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/W03pqgqM63
Seniors nationwide are saving millions on insulin, thanks to @POTUS and @VP's work to cap insulin at $35/mo for Medicare beneficiaries. We'll continue fighting to lower prescription drug costs and save American lives. #SOTU2024
Reminder that at his last State of the Union, @POTUS promised to work to cap the cost of insulin for everyone, not just people on Medicare. And you know what has happened since? Many insulin manufacturers have started to lower the price for everyone. https://t.co/NCl16VQZJE

For Americans with insulin-dependent diabetes, capping insulin costs at $35 per month is a game changer. I’m so proud that under President Biden’s leadership, more American families are facing lower costs at the pharmacy counter.
Seniors used to pay as much as $400 a month for insulin. President Biden capped that cost at $35 a month. Now, he’s calling on Congress to cap this cost for EVERY American. https://t.co/ju2Jmloyno
My #SOTU guest, Eduardo Carrasco, saw his insulin prices drop from $83 to $35 because of the work of @POTUS and @HouseDemocrats. But there's still left to be done: now it's time to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for every American who needs it! https://t.co/Xiv1jKFeD1
