Legal & Constitutional Grounding

1.3 million Americans rationed insulin in 2021 due to cost; U.S. prices are 10x comparable nations (JAMA 2022).

JAMA — One in four insulin users in the United States rationed insulin in 2021 (March 2022) — 1.3 million people
  • T1 International — global insulin price comparison: U.S. prices 10x higher than comparable nations
  • Yale study — 25% of insulin-dependent patients reported cost-related underuse leading to hospitalizations and preventable deaths

Caps insulin cost-sharing at $35/month for insured patients. Insulin rationing due to cost causes documented preventable deaths; capping costs addresses a life-threatening market failure.
