193 House Republicans voted against the Insulin Bill

[BNIBoiler]

Insulin costs diabetic patients anywhere from $300 to $900 per month.

Why would anyone vote against a bill that would lower that cost to cap out at $35 per month? I guess now we know who is donating money to the repub campaigns.

They don't like government price caps on prescription drugs. Socialism. It's a fair argument. But why not come up with a plan of their own that addresses the price of insulin from the drug manufacturers? Because the drug companies spend a lot of cash financing campaigns.

Power grab. My taxes never go down, why should they be trusted with healthcare?

Honest answer - some US drug companies may now relocate insulin production outside the US to avoid this law.
