Once again, thank you all for supporting people with diabetes who need insulin to live.  California state officials are concerned about the escalating prices of pharmaceuticals.  Please read an article by Ronald W. Lanton III, Esq who has his finger on the pulse of government and healthcare.  Attached is his article.  Please share this and encourage your family and friends in supporting this issue.  Please visit Ron’s website to see his advocacy towards fighting for healthcare issues as it relates to government policies.

This week I will start sending this petition to CT legislators. Your support makes a difference! Please continue to share the petition and keep the unaffordable cost of insulin a priority!

Good news to share, Janet Cruz’s bill (SB 116) to limit the cost of a 1-month supply of insulin to no more than $100 has passed its first committee, the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee.  This is a great first step, but it is just that, one step of many that is required in the legislative process.  The next committee the bill goes to is the Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Environment and General Government.  Here is a link to the members on that committee and here is a link to Senator Debbie Mayfield’s website where you can email her, encouraging her and her committee members to pass SB 116.

Thanks to each and every one of you that have signed this petition the support for creating a price cap on insulin grows each day and we’re starting to see real progress.  Please continue to contact your own representative and senator and share this petition with others.  Thanks,

Matt

Thank you for all of your signatures and support.  The announcement of the generic insulin and lower prices is not enough!  It’s still highly inflated and many times not available to most.  The original patent was sold for only $1 nearly 100 years ago so that insulin would be affordable and available to all.  Remember it only costs between $2-$6 to make 1 vial of insulin.  When people are rationing their insulin and dying we should all be VERY angry.  Please continue to share this with everyone you know.  We can’t stop until insulin is affordable for everyone!  Thank You!  

Thank you so very much. I will be sending this to the legislature next week! 

We can not take their excuses any longer.  When you need insulin to live or someone you know needs it we have to stop the financial pharmaceutical rape that is happening around us.  No one should have to die.  No one should have to ration their insulin. No one should have to stress how they are going to pay for insulin in America.  Not one more mother should have to use expired insulin because she knows she can’t pay their outrageous prices.  Enough is enough!  Their excuses are made up and wrong.  Keep this momentum going.  Text, email, share on Facebook.  Get the signatures because collectively we need to stop this.
