1 in 4 Americans say they cut back on the total amount of Insulin they need because the price of Insulin is to much! From 2012-2016 Insulin prices doubled from 2864 dollars to 5,705 dollars per year. In Florida 13.1 percent or 2.3 million people have Diabetes. I fall under one of those people being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 5. Insulin was founded by Frederick Banting in 1921 and the patent was sold for 1 cent to the world in hope for every human to afford and live a healthy live with diabetes. In recent years there has been multiple stories of people dying because there paycheck didn’t come in time and they ran out of insulin. I’m creating this petition in hope to present a case / cause to Ron Desantis the Governor of Florida to pass a bill to cut the price gouging of Insulin. 3 days ago the State Of Colorado passed a bill limiting the price of Insulin per bottle to a limit of 100 per month. With your help let’s make Florida the next state to defeat the big drug companies and make Type 1 Diabetes, Type none!

I have been busy drafting formal letters to the Governor and key state legislators to demand a cap on these life-threatening costs. Please email your local representative today to tell them that you refuse to let drug companies keep price gouging our neighbors.

The momentum behind this push is real and the state house cannot ignore us much longer. Post the link on your Facebook today and email your state representative to demand they back this legislation.

Wealth and greed at the cost of lives and livelihoods isn’t happiness and should be a punishable offense

I've been a type one diabetic since I was 12 and this would greatly increase my quality of life by knowing I can always afford my medication. Thank you

Individuals are suffering/ dying due to high costs of insulin supply. Diabetes is rising in the US due to unhealthy diets and food chains. Australia has subsidized diabetes supply’s along with other countries. Let’s stand together and make America healthy. We live as one and deserve to be able to afford to live happy.
