Cutting the Rising Price of Insulin

Idea Category: Healthcare

In response to the rising cost of insulin, Nebraska Senator Kate Bolz introduced legislation that would cap the price per month at $100. The bill follows Colorado's first-in-the-nation insulin price cap law that was sponsored by NewDEAL Leader Senator Kerry Donovan and signed by NewDEAL Honorary Vice Chair Governor Jared Polis. Read more about the Nebraska bill, which Bolz explains is necessary for cutting the prices that have reportedly increased by over 500% in the past fourteen years. “The 174,000 Nebraskans with diabetes," Bolz says, "these are our relatives, friends, and neighbors who have to make decisions they know will damage their health, simply because they can no longer afford their insulin dosage.”
