Mrs. TORRES of California. This is unacceptable. The Inflation Reduction Act will allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. The cost to seniors per year will not exceed $2,000. It also caps insulin for them at $35 per month. This is a game changer for working class people, not only in my community but across America.

Mr. Speaker, I urge everyone to support this bill and to be proud to help American families move forward.
