1.3 million Americans in the richest country on Earth cannot afford insulin.

In terms of insulin, let us not forget that a vial of insulin, and this is a vial of Humalog right here, costs less than $10 to manufacture, as I understand it.

We are spending twice as much per capita in healthcare in this country.

They are sick and tired of paying outrageously high prices, not only for insulin, but for other products as well.

The worst thing we can do is take no action and wish it were better.

now is the time to act!

What scientists are telling us is that there is a reasonable chance that, God forbid, that a pandemic as deadly as COVID could occur in 10 years.

85 million Americans are uninsured and underinsured.

Congress should avoid the false narrative that insufficient Federal findings were to blame for our pathetic COVID response.

Our job is to make sure that we are prepared if it does occur.

What has that done for us? How many lives were saved during the COVID pandemic because of investments by PAHPA or BARDA?

We did not have the infrastructure we needed to deal with the pandemic.
