Cutting Insulin Costs for American Families

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LANDSMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment to the CHOICE Arrangement Act because we have to do way more to cut healthcare costs for our families.

I have offered an amendment to cap the cost of insulin for all children and young people at $35 a month. Last Congress capped insulin for seniors, and I believe that this Congress should do it for our children.

We can make life just a little bit easier for hundreds of thousands of our families dealing with diabetes. If we want to actually cut healthcare costs, this is the way we do it. This will save everyone money, including taxpayers.

This is a bipartisan issue, and so I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and cut costs for children and families. This Congress needs this bipartisan win and hundreds of thousands of families need the relief.
