CUTTING INSULIN COSTS FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES
(Mr. LANDSMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
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.
