Madam Speaker, I rise in full support of this legislation. Seated here on the floor, listening to our Republican friends--price controls, socialists, killing innovation. I am not going to use all of my time using their language. How about this? Diabetes kills. Diabetics need insulin. They have to be able to afford it. They have paid their taxes all of their lives, hardworking people. So the cost for this? Sign me up for it. Sign me up for it to help people, to invest in our own people. This is absurd, the prices in our country, when it costs $15 to manufacture. So today, we stand with your constituents as well as ours to lower the price of insulin for those that need it so that they can go on with their lives.
