Insulin price caps for private markets on life support with condensed Senate schedule
Fox News
Lawmakers behind a bill to cap insulin costs face a tall task amid stunted political momentum and a campaign time crunch, but say they're still pushing ahead.
Democrats are looking for an easy win before the midterms, they’ll spin it however they want and ignore the true cost to Americans who depend on insulin. Republicans should not be party to a socialist price-setting scheme. Tyler Olson covers politics for Fox News Digital.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., vowed in an MSNBC appearance last month that the Senate will vote on price caps for insulin on private plans.
But the path is looking increasingly difficult with a packed Senate schedule. And Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, the chief GOP sponsor of the legislation, says she blames Schumer for making the bill harder to pass by decoupling price caps for Medicare recipients from similar caps on private plans.
