Affordable insulin for all who need it is a non-partisan issue we should all agree on
Fox News
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel makes a case for bipartisan passage of the Affordable Insulin Now Act in Congress.
Diabetes is non-partisan; so is insulin. We need our lawmakers to vote like it.
This is especially problematic and life-threatening in type 1 diabetics (about 5%) who simply cannot live without their insulin. This is why I support the bill – the Affordable Insulin Now Act – which just passed the House to limit the cost of insulin to $35 per month for most Americans who depend on its use. We need the bill to pass the Senate as well, which means that both Democrats and Republicans must vote for it. Several more Republicans will be needed to vote in favor than who are currently considering doing so before the bill will pass.
