We took on Big Pharma and are lowering the price of insulin

Since first taking office in 2019, I have made lowering the price of prescription drugs one of my top priorities. This is especially important for drugs like insulin, which millions of Americans living with diabetes need to stay alive.

My first guest to Washington for a Joint Session of Congress, was a woman named Shane from North Texas. Even though Shane has a good job, she still at times struggles to afford her insulin. Shane's story is sadly not unique. We know that one in four folks with diabetes rations their insulin due to high costs - which in the United States is unacceptable.

But finally, after years of hard work, we have delivered relief.
