President Biden's efforts to reduce prescription drug costs through the Inflation Reduction Act have gained traction, with support for provisions like the $35/month cap on insulin and Medicare drug negotiation extending across political lines. The Act aims to empower Medicare to negotiate lower prices with drugmakers, providing significant savings for patients and strengthening the program's finances for future generations. However, there is still a lack of awareness among voters about key provisions of the Act.

I agree with @SecBecerra: Every American should reap the rewards of the lower Rx costs made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act, like the $35/month cap on insulin. Let's pass the Lowering Drug Costs for American Families Act and expand lower drug costs for everyone. https://t.co/cLCARBbpBZ
