House pass­es $35 month­ly in­sulin caps, but Sen­ate re­mains a ques­tion mark

De­moc­rats and Re­pub­li­cans re­mained di­vid­ed over how to low­er the price of in­sulin, and on the House floor Thurs­day, Dems vot­ed to­geth­er with 12 Re­pub­li­cans to pass a bill to cap in­sulin prices at $35 per month, by a vote of 232-193 (and 6 didn’t vote). In the Sen­ate, the pic­ture isn’t so clear.

House Speak­er Nan­cy Pelosi (D-CA) took to the floor on Thurs­day, ex­plain­ing how the price of in­sulin has sky­rock­et­ed in re­cent years, with the top man­u­fac­tur­ers pulling in record-break­ing prof­its by charg­ing the US sig­nif­i­cant­ly more than oth­er coun­tries.
