This bill looks like the same sort of problem. "Insulin capped at $35/month" sounds great, but it buries the point that prices AREN'T actually being fixed. They're just shifting the increased cost from individual patients to the collective (via insurance companies). My insurance costs are going to go up so that pharma corporations can continue to fleece patients, and there's nothing in this bill that would prevent this.
