Republicans block $35 cap on price of insulin from Senate bill

Washington — Senate Republicans on Sunday blocked a $35 monthly cap on the cost of insulin in the private market from being included in Democrats' economic tax and spending package, voting down an amendment to the measure during a marathon session leading up to what Democrats hope will be final passage of the bill.

The Senate on Saturday night began consideration of more than 30 amendments to the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats' $700 billion legislation that aims to combat climate change, raise taxes on large corporations and address rising health care costs.

Amid the proposed changes to the plan was to set the $35 per month cap on insulin, the pricy medication needed to treat diabetes. Seven Republican senators voted with all 50 Democrats to keep the price ceiling in the legislation: Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cindy Hyde Smith of Mississippi, John Kennedy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Dan Sullivan of Alaska.


Still, with a vote of 57 to 43, the provision failed to garner the 60 votes needed to waive special budgetary rules and include it in the bill. The House passed a similar cap on the price of insulin in April.

Democrats are hoping to clear their overall legislative package on Sunday, setting the House up to briefly return to Washington this week to approve it. Its passage would notch President Biden and congressional Democrats a key win before the midterm elections, when they are working to maintain control of Congress.

The legislation is the culmination of months of negotiations over Mr. Biden's domestic policy plan, which at times appeared dead but was revived late last month with the surprise announcement of an agreement between Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Joe Manchin, a moderate Democrat from West Virginia.

Democrats praise the plan as their answer to addressing inflation and its nearly $400 billion investment in fighting climate change. The package allows Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, extends enhanced health insurance subsidies that were set to expire at the end of the year and imposes a 15% minimum tax on corporations that make more than $1 billion each year.

To boost clean energy, the measure includes tax credits for buying electric vehicles and manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines. It also provides rebates for consumers who buy energy efficient appliances and provides $4 billion for drought relief.

Anyone know what else was included in the bill? This is always how its done when bills pass by reconciliation. The process allows anyone to propose amendments and many of them are "gotcha" amendments forcing people to go on record with their vote. Both sides do it and its one of the ugly sides of partisan politics. The amendment could have read " $35 insulin and kill all the puppies" (exaggeration) and anyone that voted against killing puppies will be accused in the next election of voting against $35 insulin.

Why Is There No Generic Insulin?

the reality is there are no true generic insulins available —

defined as chemically identical to brand-name products and with the same efficacy, but sold much at much cheaper prices.

The three main insulin manufacturers — Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi — can be blamed for some of this.

But they’re not the only entities who’ve stood in the way of widespread availability of more affordable generic insulin.

That’s too simple.

Complexities of the drug itself,

the use of the U.S. patent system, and

the deeply flawed U.S. healthcare pricing system are all to blame as well.

Capitalist healthcare has rigged the system to extract wealth from citizens.

Anyone know what else was included in the bill? This is always how its done when bills pass by reconciliation. The process allows anyone to propose amendments and many of them are "gotcha" amendments forcing people to go on record with their vote. Both sides do it and its one of the ugly sides of partisan politics. The amendment could have read " $35 insulin and kill all the puppies" (exaggeration) and anyone that voted against killing puppies will be accused in the next election of voting against $35 insulin.

The rest of the bill was passed. It was the Inflation Reduction Act. The insulin cost cap was an amendment to that bill.

Well duh. I said that exactly. Thats what happens on reconciliation. Every gets to propose "gotcha" amendments. The question was what else was in the amendment. The way they play games there you would have to be a simpleton to think the amendment was $35 INSULIN YES/NO.

The Republicans argued that the provision violated the rules of reconciliation after the Senate parliamentarian ruled that it is not primarily related to the federal budget.

Btw, that dude was 3 times my size and did nothing of substance to me. You on the other hand would've tried to sue him into oblivion whereas I ate the shots and walked away because his bitchass, just like you, ran inside so I couldn't go in without being charged myself with trespassing.

Parents are probably disappointed they raised a Blake who's best troll tactic is passive "hurr hurr lol ____" like people haven't punted thousands and thousands of yards on that ass.

If not for people like chump, derp, chris, whatever that pedophile's name was- not Fatts, but the other one who was ran off because he got soft-core porn pics from that other dude and his physique...Blake is literally the lowest hanging fruit on the ST totem pole. The beautiful thing is, he knows it. That's why he is more than horny to try and get attention from those who ignore him and even quicker to like the comments of his best fwiend.

Dear Chucho,

Am sorry to hear that your panties are again in a bind from reading my posts.

On plus side, Joey will appreciate the kind words, even though you have made fun of him in the past, he forgives you and says, god bless.

I am also sorry to see your projection issues have not gotten any better after all these years but keep working on it.

From our discussion from several months ago, I spoke to dabom. He acknowledges how deeply he hurt you. Rest assured that he holds no grudge or ill feelings towards you as you are just, direct quote here, “an illiterate little bitch.”

Warmest Regards,

enticed by restructured Medicaid rebates, three major manufacturers slash the price of insulin


Sanofi cut the list price of Lantus by 78% to $96 for the prefilled pens and $64 for the 10-milliliter vial starting January 1. It reduced the list price of its short-acting Apidra insulin by 70%.

Novo Nordisk lowered the list prices of several of its insulin vials and prefilled pens, including NovoLog, Novolin and Levemir, by up to 75% as of January 1. The new list price for NovoLog is $72 per vial and $140 for the FlexPen.

And Eli Lilly said it would slash the list prices of Humalog, its most commonly prescribed insulin, and of Humulin by 70% by the end of 2023. Humalog will now carry a list price of $66 per vial.

These moves were carefully timed and will save the companies hundreds of millions of dollars a year, experts said. That’s because the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act made a major change to the rebates that drug manufacturers pay annually to state Medicaid programs – a change that kicked in on January 1.

The rebate is based on how much a drug’s list price has increased compared with inflation and how deeply it is discounted in the commercial market. Until now, that rebate was capped at 100% of the drug’s average manufacturer’s price, which is a proxy for its list price.
But that cap disappeared on January 1, so the rebate could now be larger than the amount the drugmaker earns from Medicaid for the medication. About 15% to 20% of brand drugs have reached the cap, according to IQVIA, an analytics and research company.
By cutting the list prices for Humalog and Humulin, Eli Lilly could avoid having to pay an additional $430 million in Medicaid rebates in 2024, said Spencer Perlman, director of health care research at Veda Partners, a consulting group that provides policy analysis to institutional investors. Plus, Eli Lilly could earn an additional $85 million in profits from Medicaid because of the way the rebate formula is designed.

Novo Nordisk could avoid about $350 million in new rebates and earn nearly $210 million more on NovoLog and Levemir. Sanofi, meanwhile, could avoid $560 million in rebates and earn an additional $200 million in profit on Lantus.
