During the Trump Presidency in 2020, seniors with Medicare drug plans paid an average of $54 per month for their insulin, with some paying up to $116 per month.1 With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, President Biden and Congressional Democrats capped the monthly cost of insulin for all seniors at $35 a month.

The result: significant savings for America’s seniors.
