Senate Republicans on Sunday blocked a $35 monthly cap on the cost of insulin in the private market from being included in Democrats' economic tax and spending package, voting down an amendment to the measure during a marathon session leading up to what Democrats hope will be final passage of the bill.
The Senate on Saturday night began consideration of more than 30 amendments to the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats' $700 billion legislation that aims to combat climate change, raise taxes on large corporations and address rising health care costs.

Covid vaxxes are free because they “ save lives”
Insulin…not so much
$35 is not really that much. Everyone who can’t afford the $35 should show the medical profession that they don’t have a tattoo on them somewhere.
Before my last procedure they had to ask if there was any abuse going on in my house. If they’re going to work for the police they can verify what the taxpayers are paying for.
Yup. Republicrats want diabetics to die. Demokkkommies ads claiming that in 3,....2,.....
Sen. Bernie Sanders was defeated on an amendment that would have greatly expanded the bill’s number of prescription drugs eligible for price negotiation under Medicare for the elderly and he was also defeated on a push to expand Medicare coverage for eyeglasses, hearing aids and dental care.
Kelly and the idiot in Georgia will be sweating over this vote
What is the reality, DIRTYSECRET?
Are we really the evil people, or simply being portrayed that way for political purposes?
Is it at all relevant that putting price caps and controls on ANYTHING guarantees only ONE thing: That there WILL be shortages of that “thing”?
Are you angry that the “Republicans” didn’t just go ahead and agree with price controls and caps knowing full well that people could die from insulin shortages as a result?
Trump already did this, Biden rescinded it....and then they complain about it. Voila.

Janitor: Thanks I didn’t know that but it didn’t surprise me at all.
There is a better way and the left would rather make us look bad. It’s like 2009-both houses of congress to settle the immigration issue THEIR way. Didn’t do it. They wanted the issue to stay alive.
Let me see if I understand this correctly.
You can still buy the older generation insulin at WalMart for $25.00 per vial. It isn’t state of the art, but it is insulin.
Just like you can buy an older generation smart phone for $50.00 instead of a state of the art smart phone for $2000.00.
Right?
It won’t be the same, but you can afford it.
I can’t speak to the efficacy. I was on insulin but I threw out all the carbs in the house and did all my own cooking from scratch, and the doc took me back off of insulin and that was that.
So I’ll leave it up to someone else to comment.
The press runs and frames stories that helps the Democrats, hiding and obfuscating anything else. I’m amazed how every time the media release one of their smelly fart stories, it ends up here.
Most diabetics don’t take insulin. They take one or more bio-engineered products that took billions of dollars in investment to develop.
We could always go back to grinding freeze-dried pig pancreases to manufacture “insulin” (iletin).
The fact is, the left wants the benefit of the ideas and labor of productive people, comandeered at gunpoint. They never want to pay for it.
Lucido-very good but if you expect that from others it makes u a racist. Then there’s the tattoo-got one?
The SCOTUS shutting down the line item veto back in 1998 gave us all this crap that has been attached to the singular additives to all the bills that have been presented since...........
The move is possible through an allocation of $100 million in the state budget for the manufacture of the medication at a cheaper price.
"Nothing, nothing epitomizes market failures more than the cost of insulin," he said in a video posted on the governor's official Twitter page.
Newsom noted that $50 million will go toward funding a California-based manufacturing facility "that will provide new, high-paying jobs and a stronger supply chain for the drug." The other $50 million will cover the cost of developing insulin products.
Ha ...good luck wid dat Newsom
You will need:
Manufacturing of bulk supplies of sterile insulin
Manufacturing or supplies of syringes and needles
Manufacturing or purchase of sterile glass vials with rubber stoppers
Acquisition of syringe filling machinery
Acquisition of machinery for printing on vials boxes and instruction labels in multiple languages.
Certification by various state, federal and international standards
Good luck Newsom.
That was the proposed cap. It costs a hell of a lot more then that.
If certain drugs are not affordable for people who should be getting them, let the taxpayers pay; but there’s no reason to transfer the care burden to drug makers via price controls. Should we put price controls of farmers because certain people can’t afford food? Price controls on autos for people who can’t afford cars? No business has a monopoly over any of these products, so there’s no big pile of monopoly money for socialists to distribute.
If this Tom coburn guy says 50 percent of diabetes is preventable, then nothing else he has to say has any value.
He is probably one of those people that say to just lose weight.
Newsflash... you don’t have diabetes because you are fat.... You are fat because you have diabetes.
Once you have your A1C under control, losing weight is virtually impossible.
That’s why the rare person that does it makes headlines.
And that’s why people who buy into or preach this are ignorant about this disease.
As an afterthought, my insulin, with insurance, is about 550 a month.
I wonder what people pay for anti aids meds, and the morning after pill....
I wonder what they pay for the monkeypox vaccine?
>> Senate Republicans on Sunday blocked...
How is that possible since the GOP is effectively in the minority?
