Will cap monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35.
Occurrences
Evidence
The senators said the INSULIN Act would cap the cost of insulin at $35 per month for Americans on private and employer insurance and create a pilot program to provide insulin at the same cost to Americans without insurance.
Shaheen’s office said two more senators backed the bipartisan INSULIN Act, bringing the total to 14 co-sponsors; the bill would cap insulin costs at $35 per month for Americans on private and employer insurance and create a pilot for the uninsured.
Assessments
A $35 monthly insulin out-of-pocket cap was enacted for Medicare beneficiaries through the Inflation Reduction Act during Shaheen's current Senate term, and as a sitting senator she had federal voting/legislative credit for that outcome. However, the broader promise is not fully delivered for all insulin users: Shaheen's later INSULIN Act efforts in 2026 seek to extend a $35 cap to private/employer insurance and create an uninsured pilot, but those proposals have not been enacted. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
