Democrats, led by President Biden, have successfully passed the Inflation Reduction Act, resulting in significant healthcare cost reductions. Key achievements include capping insulin at $35/month for seniors, negotiating lower drug prices under Medicare, and capping out-of-pocket costs for inhalers. The Act has forced pharmaceutical companies to lower prices on essential medications. Republicans have opposed these measures, but Democrats continue to push for further cost-saving initiatives.
Asthma drugs can be pricy, so much that the Senate health committee opened an investigation into the situation in January. Shortly afterward, three of the biggest makers of asthma inhalers pledged to cap out-of-pocket costs for some U.S. patients at $35. https://t.co/BDxpvjC7Yw
No Ohioan should ever have to ration their lifesaving medication because Big Pharma keeps raising the price. That’s why we’re fighting to cap insulin at $35 a month for everyone. https://t.co/Eox9eGppwP
Joe Biden sees a $35 price cap for insulin as a pivotal campaign issue. It’s not that clear-cut Reporting by @AP https://t.co/xi1L9ic2r8 #FlaPol
Rarely a day goes without President Joe Biden mentioning insulin prices. However, lowering insulin prices is complicated. https://t.co/rufJJpcX26
I called on Big Pharma to stop anticompetitive practices that protected inflated asthma inhaler prices. Now 3 of the 4 largest companies are capping patients' out-of-pocket costs for their inhalers at $35. This is a step forward in bringing down costs for essential medications. https://t.co/dkzDmtKRyQ

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, seniors with Medicare Part D have their insulin costs capped at $35/month and free shingles vaccines. And next year, their out-of-pocket drug costs will be capped at $2,000/year. Every single Republican voted against this bill.
Thanks to our work to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, we've: ✅Capped insulin at $35/mo for Medicare recipients ✅Cut costs for expensive+life-saving drugs ✅Capped cost of Medicare Part D drugs ✅Empowered Medicare to negotiate lower Rx drug prices Without a single GOP vote.
Insulin is capped at $35 a month for seniors. Medicare has the power to negotiate lower drug prices. Health care coverage is more affordable for millions of Americans. All because House Democrats took on Big Pharma and stood up for everyday Americans.
Senate Democrats are working to lower the cost of prescription drugs! Republicans might be trying to stop the progress we have made, but we won’t stop working for more.
Democrats are focused on lowering the cost of prescription drugs. Americans are saving as a result. And while Republicans are trying to reverse this progress, we’re going to keep working for more!
From asthma inhalers to cancer drug treatments, Democrats have successfully lowered costs despite intense opposition from the GOP and Big Pharma. We must build on our progress and deliver savings for Americans.
We stood up to Big Pharma – and won. Now American families and our seniors are seeing real savings on life-saving prescription drugs and their health care.
Democrats have made major progress in lowering the cost of insulin and other prescription drugs while Republicans are dragging their feet. I’m fighting to continue to build on this progress with my End Price Gouging for Medications Act! https://t.co/HdI0S1pM1g
Democrats are saving Americans money on the prescription drugs they need to survive: ✅Insulin capped at $35/month for seniors on Medicare ✅3/4 of the largest inhaler makers capping out-of-pocket costs at $35/month ✅Big Pharma required to lower prices for 41 drugs this month
Inhalers capped at $35/month ✅ Prescription drug costs lowered ✅ Insulin capped at $35/month for seniors ✅ I’m happy to have taken on big pharma to lower health care costs for Wisconsinites!
We took on Big Pharma to start lowering the cost of prescription drugs – and I will keep fighting to bring down health care costs for Granite Staters.
When Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act and lowered the cost of insulin to $35/month for those on Medicare, we knew our job wasn't done. It's time we make sure that Americans who rely on insulin can get it for $35/month, too. I have a bill that would do just that.
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, 3 of the 4 largest inhaler manufacturers are capping out-of-pocket costs at $35 a month. That’s a big deal, folks. I’m proud of my work with @SenateDems to lower healthcare costs for American families. 🔗:https://t.co/Dm7qnflZyN https://t.co/jC2IY8HL2o
Last year, Democrats took on Big Pharma. And – despite Republican opposition – we won. Now, Americans will see real savings on prescription drugs, like insulin, inhalers, and life-saving cancer drugs. https://t.co/6g14yIYvyf
Before @POTUS and Democrats put pressure on pharmaceutical companies, sky-high insulin prices were just an accepted part of health care. Now, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, insulin is capped at $35. I’m proud of the work we’ve done on lowering healthcare costs. https://t.co/dmg44E0YCh
The medicine you need for your health shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Democrats – and only Democrats – voted for the Inflation Reduction Act to make Big Rx companies cap the cost of insulin, inhalers & other medications to help Americans save more of their hard earned money. https://t.co/doO0m5cKrD
$35 insulin for seniors on Medicare. $35 inhalers. Price negotiation on lifesaving prescription drugs. Democrats stood up to Big Pharma and keep delivering wins for the American people.
Thanks to President Biden and Congressional Democrats, seniors are paying LESS for their insulin. Starting this year, seniors’ monthly insulin costs are now capped at $35! https://t.co/q7bHYFsRls
Democrats fought hard to reign in big pharma—and won. For patients, that's meant: 🏥capping Medicare Part D at ~$2,000, 💉capping insulin at $35/mo for seniors, and 💊allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs. Republicans voted against it all.
Some ways @POTUS has lowered drug prices? These are a big deal: - Capped insulin at $35/month for seniors - Capped Medicare out-of-pocket costs for drugs - Allowed Medicare to negotiate drug prices - Proposed new guidelines so taxpayers get a fair price on drugs we pay to develop
Democrats took on Big Pharma and won, despite Republicans voting against our efforts. ✅Capped insulin at $35/month for seniors ✅Free vaccines under Medicare ✅Negotiating for lower prices on heart & diabetes meds We’ll keep securing big wins for American families.
