Republicans in Congress want diabetics to keep paying high prices for insulin

 

One has to wonder which party the health insurance companies are giving the most donations to.

House PASSES bill to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month: 12 Republicans join Democrats to push through legislation which the GOP has compared to 'government price fixing'

Let's point out that this vote means 193 Republican congresspersons voted against the insulin price cap.

Let's also point out that it hasn't made it through the damn Senate.

The article finishes thusly:

"The plan to lower prescription drug prices was originally included in President Biden's Build Back Better plan, but was separated out after that bill stalled in the Senate.

The average cost for a vial of insulin in the U.S. is $98.70. The closest any country came to what the U.S. pays was Chile, where a vial of insulin costs $21.48."
