Today, the House passed historic and bipartisan legislation that, if enacted, will cap consumers’ out-of-pocket cost for insulin at $35 per month – a move that voters overwhelmingly support. Ann Wagner voted against it.
There are nearly 30 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes, and for the millions who require insulin, the prescription drug often makes the difference between life and death. Tragically, studies found that nearly a quarter of diabetes patients have been forced to ration or even skip their medication due to skyrocketing costs.
Rep. Wagner once again shamefully chose to abandon her constituents today, voting against commonsense, broadly popular legislation that would help ensure more Americans can afford the drug that keeps them alive and well.
DCCC Spokesperson Monica Robinson:
“With each shameful vote, Ann Wagner is building the case against herself this election cycle. Missourians won’t forget that when given the opportunity to lower costs and save lives, Wagner abandoned them.”
