10/24/2022 Tweet - "Earlier this year, we passed a seismic achievement and capped insulin costs for those on Medicare at $35/month. This will curb insulin rationing and save lives -- it's time to extend this provision to all."
10/06/2022 Tweet - "Glad to secure a $35/month insulin cap for those on Medicare. But we must also work to prevent diabetes and make sure those with the disease have the other resources they need to manage it -- glad to see suggestions that mirror my Prevent Diabetes Act."
08/18/2022 Tweet - "I'm still upset that the provision to cap insulin copays for all at $35/month was stripped from our cost-cutting bill. I'm glad we got it done for those on Medicare, but I haven't forgotten about those that need this passed."
05/25/2022 Tweet - "Protecting life means supporting commonsense gun control. It means capping insulin copays at $35/month. It means voting for funding for COVID vaccines. It means not criminalizing abortion when the mother's life is in danger. This is what I am working towards."
05/10/2022 Tweet - "I'm still thinking of kids like Joshua from Midlothian that rely on insulin. We owe it to them and to their families to cap copays at $35/month."
04/27/2022 Tweet - "The House has passed it. President Biden said he'll sign it. The Senate is the final step -- I'm urging my colleagues to get a bill capping insulin copays done as soon as possible."
04/26/2022 Tweet - "My daughter is a T1 diabetic -- so I've seen firsthand how insulin prices can spiral out of control. I'm pushing for the Senate to get a $35/month cap on insulin copays done and rein in costs of other critical prescription drugs, too."
04/19/2022 Tweet - "No one should go bankrupt paying for medication they need to live. I'm fighting to cut the out-of-control cost of critical prescription drugs."
04/04/2022 Tweet - "When the House passed a copay cap for insulin last week, we got one step closer to making this critical drug affordable to all who rely on it. Let's finish the job in the Senate and then take further steps toward ending all prescription drug price gouging."
03/25/2022 Tweet - "Just met with some folks with the VA Biotech Research Partnership Authority -- I'm inspired by the work they're doing to keep drug costs low, create good local jobs, and make lifesaving drugs right here in VA. I'm pushing for more grants and laws that would support their work."
03/09/2022 Tweet - "I'm focused on lowering gas prices, but I'm also working on cutting other costs that matter, like capping insulin at $35/month. It's time to get this done for the one in ten Americans with diabetes."
03/01/2022 Tweet - "Great speech tonight from @POTUS -- especially appreciated that he invited Joshua Davis, a 7th grader and T1 diabetic from Midlothian. It's time to cap the price of insulin at $35/month for those that need it, like Joshua."
02/10/2022 Tweet - "Glad to see @POTUS make a stop in Culpeper today to talk about lowering health care costs -- it's time for Congress to take meaningful action to address lowering prescription drug prices. It isn't fair that families are spending huge portions of their income on life-saving drugs."
11/22/2021 Tweet - "It's not fair that Americans are paying more for the same life-saving drug -- and that's why I'm fighting for the passage of the #BuildBackBetterAct, which will cap insulin prices at $35/month."
11/20/2021 Tweet - "It's not fair that Americans are paying far more than other countries for the same drugs. #BuildBackBetter would lower cap insulin costs at $35 a month -- a transformative, cost-saving regulation for many Americans."
