Attention supporters in ID & WA: It’s time to use your voice! The INSULIN Act was introduced in March by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Susan Collins (R-ME), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), and John Kennedy (R-LA). This legislation has received bipartisan support and will make the cost of life-saving insulin more affordable and predictable for those with group and individual market health plans and help those without insurance.

Act now to tell your U.S. Senator why affordable insulin is important to you. Visit BreakthroughT1D.org/Advocacy/INSULIN.
