Volunteer advocates working together
(with support from @t1international)
for #insulin4all. We advocate for
transparency & lower cost of insulin in
Florida.
Four executive orders were issued by the Administration last week to lower insulin prices to “pennies a day.” While this may seem like a huge victory for the diabetes community these executive orders fall extremely short of what is needed. The fight is far from over. #insulin4all
⚠️ACTION ALERT⚠️
Florida’s Legislative Session is almost over and the insulin copay cap bill has still not been heard in committee! Call and email the committee chair’s office and other committee members to urge them to hear the bill.
Join us this week for our bi-weekly Chapter Lead Meeting on Wednesday, May 26 at 7-8 PM via Zoom. This is an amazing way to learn more about our initiatives, lead members, and how to get more involved with the chapter!

Amazon is NOT selling their own brand of insulin like this headline implies. And Amazon’s prices for insulin for Prime Members are higher than list price.
There are no corporate saviors. We need action to lower the list price of insulin, now. (credit to @coinsulin4all for creating the second graphic). #insulin4all
On May 26, the Presidential Administration announced that starting January 2021, insulin copays will be capped at a maximum of $35 a month for those on participating Medicare Part D Plans. See the graphics below for our statement and more information on this model. #Insulin4all
Our billboards with @NSmithholt12 are in Indianapolis (one near Eli Lilly's HQ) calling for lower prices of insulin and our Digital Demonstration for #onedecision for #insulin4all is happening TODAY. Are you joining us? https://t.co/CQLqwwHxMf
While the Executive Order President Trump released yesterday could dramatically lower insulin costs for some senior citizens, that could take months or years if it ever happens at all — patients don't have that kind of time to wait for change. https://t.co/cul1wRveRa #insulin4all
Have a listen to Kevin's Dad, Dan Houdeshell, talking about Kevin’s Law. It provides good context around legislation: https://t.co/hMZ6S9KsWb. #insulin4all
Thank you to @SenJanetCruz for her dedication to SB116/HB109 on capping insulin prices to $100 for the insured in the State of FL. Stay tuned for the release of the Insulin Townhall where we speak on this bill and the upcoming 2021 legislative session. #Insulin4all@FLinsulin4all

On Friday , President Trump released 4 executive orders intended to lower drug prices. While T1International is glad that the administration has stated that making insulin more affordable is a priority, these orders miss the mark. Read more: #insulin4all https://t.co/0dT3pC9lII
“It is clear that the pharmaceutical industry can see only one thing - their bottom line. Pharma can be sure that patients will not give up now. We will not stop speaking out and we will not stop showing them the real price we pay for their greed. This fight isn’t over.”
