Rep. Lauren Underwood on Twitter: "Insulin prices are skyrocketing. The market is so broken that families across northern Illinois are being forced to go to extremes—like rationing medicine or even going without—to be able to afford the prescriptions they depend on. This is unacceptable."

  While we have taken steps in Congress to decrease prescription drug costs, we must do more. I will continue to work in Congress to lower the cost of lifesaving prescription drugs Illinoisans and Americans depend on.

  It’s such a shame. The fact that such an old and tried and true medication, that was actually created and donated for the good of humanity like Salk donated the Polio vaccine, is being sold for egregious profits.

  Colorado has become the first state to cap co-payments of insulin for insured patients, regardless of the supply they require. The law also directs the state's attorney general to launch an investigation into how prescription insulin prices are set. https://n.pr/2HSHk1f

  Drug companies have been reformulating insulin and indications for different medications for decades to keep the patent. This is a deplorable action. We need policy change to stop this practice.

  The government wouldn't have to produce the generic drugs, but pay manufacturers to make them. Medicare would save billions per year doing this. "The cost of production for a vial of insulin is $2-$6." https://www.ptcommunity.com/news/20180925/insulin-prices-are-way-too-high …

  Many Americans ration their prescription medication to be able to afford their mortgage. Medicare For All is a long-term sustainable solution that will no longer force people to make these difficult choices. Join me for a town hall on Medicare for All with @RepJayapal Thursday

  Government should contract with generic manufacturers in India or China to make it and save money. Direct contract.
