Dear Friend,
I’ve been fighting tirelessly to lower costs for families across the country. That’s what the historic Inflation Reduction Act, which passed last fall with my support, was all about. The law delivers much-needed relief for seniors by capping Medicare beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 per month.
This means that over 28,000 Washington seniors on Medicare can save nearly $17 million this year on insulin, an average of $603 per beneficiary in savings. Many will no longer be put in the terrible position of having to ration their insulin or choose between paying rent and affording lifesaving medication.
The insulin provision went into effect at the start of 2023. You should automatically see these savings, but you can find information here.
I’ll continue fighting until every American who needs insulin is able to afford it.
If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact my Kirkland office at (425) 485-0085 or delbene.house.gov. For more updates on what I’m doing for WA-01, you can follow me on social media at the links above.
Stay safe and stay healthy,
Suzan
