The package previously passed the Senate and now heads to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law. The bill includes a measure led by Rep. McBath and Senator Warnock to cap the costs of insulin and lower the prices American families pay for the life-saving prescription drug. Under this package, more than 100,000 Georgians will have their insulin copays capped at $35 per month. “American families work hard, and they deserve to be able to afford their medicines and raise their children in a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment. This bill helps them do that—it makes health care more affordable, tackles climate change, creates new, good-paying jobs, and brings down the costs of medicine and household items for every single American,” said McBath. “I'm proud this will also include a measure to cap the cost of insulin, a policy I've continued to fight for.” The Inflation Reduction Act: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
