More than 1 in 10 adults across Maine have diabetes

Despite polls showing popular support for the economic legislation passed last year, Rep. Andy Ogles and over 20 Republicans are seeking to reverse it completely.

The announcement follows the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act’s $35 cap on out-of-pocket insulin costs for Medicare recipients.

A provision in the Inflation Reduction Act caps the cost of insulin for some Medicare recipients starting this year, and Democrats support a similar rule for privately insured Americans as well.

More than 63 million Americans who are enrolled in Medicare benefit from the agency’s new ability to cap the costs of prescription medicines.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) voted against including a price cap for diabetic Americans with private insurance in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Only 12 Republicans in the House of Representatives joined all Democrats to vote for the Affordable Insulin Now Act.

The bipartisan, House-passed H.R. 3 would lower drug costs for all Americans.

Also: Virginia has a new law defending reproductive health, and former President Barack Obama endorses a friend.

The high cost of prescription drugs is one of the top concerns among voters.

Trump pledged to lower drug prices but is doing nothing to change things.
