Senator Warnock Delivers Remarks at Center For American Progress

Published | Video Starts at 27:50

Georgians have told me about how they've had to get insulin from friends who had some leftover from their deceased relatives. Insulin is a 100-year-old drug. The patent was sold for $1. Shouldn't be expensive in the first place. It's unacceptable. It's immoral. So I'm proud of my work to cap the cost of insulin to 30, $35. (27:50–27:57)

CLAIM

Asserts that insulin should not be expensive due to its age and original patent cost.
