My girlfriend is a type 1 diabetic. Witnessing first-hand the high cost of her life-saving insulin is appalling. Insulin isn't a luxury, it is a dire necessity, and yet the pricing suggests otherwise. Across the United States, people with diabetes are having to make unthinkable decisions about how to ration their insulin simply because of cost. A 2016 Journal of the American Medical Association study found that insulin prices nearly tripled from 2002 to 2013 (The Washington Post, 2016). This is an undeniable, pressing issue that needs immediate resolution.

The high price of insulin is not just a statistic; it's a reality that affects the lives of millions of people each day. For someone like my girlfriend, and countless others, it means a constant struggle between maintaining health and financial security.

No one should have to make a choice between their life and their livelihood. For the sake of every diabetic patient, we demand that the authorities reassess and lower the cost of insulin.
