Stop Big Pharma from exploiting insulin in Minnesota


Stop Big Pharma from exploiting insulin in Minnesota
The Issue
Insulin is a matter of life and death to those with type 1 diabetes. Across the country, including some of my loved ones, are millions of Americans diagnosed with diabetes. Big Pharma is trying to stop a bill that would make insulin affordable for the people of Minnesota. Sign and voice your support for the bill! A pharmaceutical trade group named PhRMA filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of Minnesota over the Alec Smith Insulin Affordability Act. This act, which goes into effect July 8th, is named after Alec Smith, a young man who unfortunately died in 2017 after having to ration his insulin because he could not afford to buy as much as he needed. For years, for-profit health care and pharmaceutical companies have been exploiting the American people and making necessary medicines inaccessible and expensive. Insulin prices have skyrocketed over the years and this one of a kind legislation if protected can create a new wave of fair and just bills to protect the lives of millions of Americans. Sign and keep pressure on the courts and the company about the importance of keeping insulin affordable!!
