And I'm really proud of the work that I've done in Congress to try and expand coverage and lower costs, particularly when it comes to Capping the cost of insulin for folks on Medicare at 35 bucks a month and capping their out of pocket costs at $2,000 a year. To me, that's a huge benefit for our folks on Medicare. I want to extend some of those savings to everyone else. Unfortunately, Ted Cruz opposed that and didn't allow us to control the cost of insulin. (07:12–07:20)
