Insulin prices are a policy failure.
Americans are dying because our politicians refuse to act.
It’s time we hold them accountable.
The Problems
1-in-4 Americans are rationing their life-saving insulin. Americans pay more for analog insulin than anyone else and it requires a prescription to obtain (unlike in other countries). These are barriers that limits access to a drug that people cannot live without.
While insulin makers have recently lowered the prices of some of their oldest insulins, they are still more expensive in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. And there are still no protections to prevent companies from raising prices in the future.

“Our study shows that even if insulin were free, families would still have substantial out-of-pocket costs for other health care. Policymakers should improve the affordability of all care for type 1 diabetes.”

Join our fight
Healthcare policy in the United States is just that — policy. There are over 37 million diabetics in the U.S., and through our collective action we can hold lawmakers accountable to protect our rights to health and life over corporate greed.
We have the power to vote for politicians who agree with our values and vote out the ones who aren’t working in our best interests to build a more equitable society.
Together we can change this system, but we need your help.
