Correct, but this message is about the affordability of insulin and the
issue about the people that is not on medicare. I'm sure that there are
people that have different kinds of insulin, the question is; is it
affordable? Should insulin stay unaffordable for those that are not on
medicare?

Things that make you go hummmmm, LOL.

Your concern about the different kinds of insulin and how it reacts to
someones body is a concern of that individual and their physician. I'm sure
that this legislative initiative do not want to get involved in that.

Thanks,

Walter

Walter affordable is not all the issuer r e with this.  

Different Pharmaceuticals have different insulin that is not always good for
a diabetic's immune system.

Good Evening Listers,

I received the below information in a email on diabetes-talk. I apologize
for being late, but there has been a ongoing conversation about this on the
list. I thought you may be interested in the information, please continue
reading below:

> Dear Supporter,

> 

> Today, Congress finally passed legislation that will make insulin more
affordable-for some. While we appreciate Congress for taking a step to
address this national crisis, it is a small step. Congress needs to do more.

> 

> We will continue to demand they do more until insulin is available at an
affordable, predictable price for all Americans who need it-not just
Americans on Medicare who will now have their monthly insulin costs capped
at $35. We need a monthly cap for individuals on commercial insurance, like
the one that was removed from the bill prior to passage. We need to fix the
underlying systemic flaws that created this uniquely American crisis. We
need measures for the uninsured. 

> 

> Still-today was an important step made possible by you. Here's what we do
from here. 

> Continue advocating for affordable insulin. We will not stop until insulin
is available at an affordable, predictable cost for all Americans who need
it-including people without insurance. That has always and will always be
our goal. That's why we are supporting the Civica Insulin Project, so
insulin is available at no more than $30 per vial.

> Rally behind the bipartisan INSULIN Act. Sponsored by two long-time JDRF
champions, Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Susan Collins (R-ME), we look
forward to this legislation being introduced and voted on in September. 

> Stay educated. Read more about where things stand in our detailed blog by
Laura Whitton, JDRF Vice President of Government Relations and Grassroots
Advocacy. Also, please track this conversation on social media-it's our
easiest way to share mobilizations so you can raise your voices in support
of affordable insulin. 

> Thank you for all you do. Let's ensure today was a necessary first, but
small step, in the fight for insulin affordability.
