Diabetics could’ve seen insulin costs capped at $35 a month. Instead they’ll continue to pay hundreds of dollars. Why? MAGA-Republicans are so obsessed with opposing Democratic solutions that they’ll screw anyone over if it means beating Democrats. Politics won. Patients lost. https://t.co/nepoYgs94g

Here are the mcconnell republican senators who just killed capping insulin at $35. Republicans told millions of Americans who use insulin to go to hell. Remember their names. pic.twitter.com/NyovYZyabr

Here are the seven Republicans who voted to keep the $35 cap provision in bill:
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) August 7, 2022
Susan Collins
Josh Hawley
Cindy Hyde-Smith
John Kennedy
Bill Cassidy
Lisa Murkowski
Dan Sullivan
Democrats fall short? They all voted to keep the insulin cap. How about republicans BLOCKED or STRIPPED insulin cap? Let’s phrase things appropriately and correctly here.

$7.52 UK

$11.00 Germany
$12.00 Canada
$14.40 Japan
$98.70 United States
If Republicans have an intellectual argument against cheaper insulin, I’d really love to hear it.
The price of insulin in the United States is so high it has led to nearly 4 in 5 diabetics who rely on it taking on debt.
