Type 1 Diabetics can lead good and productive lives if they pay constant attention to their insulin needs. Insulin is not optional for Type 1 Diabetics who have little or no power to control its prices.

My dear friend is a type 1 diabetic and I have a few family members who are type 2s. Insulin and suppliers costs are very high and often beyond the reach of being paid for, so folks go without. Diabetics need their glucose monitors to truly know what is happening with their bliod sugar and type 1s need their glucose pumps. We have got to find a way to bring down costs. Please support this bill.
