Starting June 1, the cost of inhalers will be capped at $35 a month for many Americans. This new out-of-pocket price cap, resulting from efforts by President Joe Biden and Democrats, aims to alleviate the financial burden on millions of Americans living with asthma. Companies such as AstraZeneca and Boehringer Ingelheim are participating in this initiative. Senator Tammy Baldwin highlighted the impact on Wisconsinites, including those in La Crosse, emphasizing the importance of affordable medication. The price cap, which also benefits individuals with COPD, is expected to provide much-needed relief and peace of mind for affected families. The changes will take effect starting Saturday.

I’ve always believed that no American should go broke just to get the medication they need to live a healthy life. Capping inhaler prices to $35/month will be much needed relief for Wisconsinites who will have costs cut from lower inhaler prices. https://t.co/z0VtEOAAdM

May is #AsthmaAwarenessMonth. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, 3 of the 4 largest inhaler manufacturers are capping out-of-pocket costs at $35 a month. I’m proud of my work with @SenateDems to lower costs for the millions of Americans with asthma all across the country.
