10/18/2022
Social Media: 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."

06/10/2022
Social Media: 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?"

Social Media: 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."
