It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2024. That’s a 25,714% markup.😳

That isn’t inflation. It isn’t supply chain issues. It is 100% corporate greed. #MakeInsulinFree

Today insulin is capped at $35 for those on Medicare. Democrats unanimously voted for this, yet so-called "pro life" Republicans unanimously opposed.

There are MILLIONS of people w/diabetes too young for Medicare.
Insulin needs to be free & accessible for ALL. #MakeInsulinFree

I'm glad insulin is capped at $35 for people on Medicare. It's a bill Democrats unanimously vote for, and so-called "pro life" Republicans unanimously opposed.

But here's the thing.

Insulin needs to be free & accessible to all people. Healthcare is a human right & there's no reason why corporations should profit billions off a life saving drug, the patent for which was sold for $3.

In the wealthiest nation on Earth, no person should struggle with insulin access. #MakeInsulinFree
