On June 28, 2022, standing with North Country residents with diabetes who need insulin daily and health officials, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer today revealed a new bipartisan agreement to reduce the outrageous cost of insulin and announced he will call for a Senate vote to bring the amount Americans pay out of pocket for insulin down from $200-$600 per prescription to a maximum of $35 per month. Schumer explained that the Improving Needed Safeguards for Users of Lifesaving Insulin Now (INSULIN) Act would both cap the cost of insulin, while also limiting drug manufacturers’ ability to arbitrarily raise the price of these drugs and increasing consumer protections. The Senator said that no North Country family should never be forced to ration this critical drug due to unreasonably high costs.
