This important milestone brings us closer to expanding access to affordable insulin, so people don't have to choose between paying for life-saving medication and other necessities.

The ADA thanks Senator Jeanne Shaheen, U.S. Senator Susan Collins, Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock, Senator John Kennedy, the bipartisan coalition of senators who sponsored the bill, and those who supported this legislation in committee today, including:
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
Sen. Marshall (R-KS)
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO)
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)

💙TAX ADVANTAGED SAVINGS/INVESTMENT ACCOUNT FOR PEOPLE WITH T1D!!! 👀😮💙

💙 Have you heard of the ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) account for people with disabilities?

💙 It is a tax advantaged savings/investment account for people with disabilities as defined by the SSA.

💙 It allows people with disabilities to save and still qualify for Medicaid, SSI and SSDI.

💙 If you were diagnosed before age 46 and are on insulin? You qualify.

💙 Can put in up to $20,000 annually. Friends, family and employers can contribute up to certain maximums.

💙 Can possibly put in an extra $15,640 if you work.

💙 Savings grow tax free. HUGE.

💙 States have their own plans. There is a comparison tool on the ABLE website.

💙 Many states allow out of state people to start a plan.

💙 You can designate a POD (payable on death) beneficiary BUT if you used Medicaid the funds will be subject to Medicaid funds recovery/repayment.

💙 The funds can be used for a broad range of expenses: housing, food, medical expenses, legal fees, education expenses etc.

Thank-you to Addy Tayler T1D and Yesil Satik T1D + UGC Creator for getting the word out to the T1D community about this. 💖

To any one who’s ever been told they can’t because of diabetes… in the Wimbledon final today, in front of millions of viewers, tennis player in the final Alexander Zverev does his insulin injection during the match break. Showing the world that living with type 1 diabetes doesn’t need to stop your sporting dreams. Thank you Sacha, for making the invisible condition we live with visible 💜💚
