Tweet - "The inventors of insulin sold their patents for $1 in 1923. And yet, the price of insulin in America has gone up by over 1,000% since 1999 causing 1.3 million diabetics in our country to ration insulin last year. It should not cost 10x more for insulin than it does in Canada."

Tweet - "Greed. Greed. Greed. Since 2008, the median price for new brand name drugs soared from $2,115 to $180,000 while 3 pharmaceutical companies made $54 billion in profits last year. How many more people need to die before Congress has the guts to take on the pharmaceutical industry?"

Tweet - "Sen. Manchin is right. Let's cut drug prices in half by strengthening the provision in the House-passed Build Back Better legislation to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices like the VA has done for years, and pass the whole package with 50 votes next week. It's time to vote."

Tweet - "Do you know why 1 out of 4 Americans can't afford their prescription drugs? Do you know why thousands of Americans die every year because they can't afford their medicine? Do you know why millions of Americans ration their insulin? I'll tell you why: greed, greed, greed."
