CGM usage in T2D results in improved self-care behaviors as well, improving #mentalhealth. #ADA2023

At #ADA2023: listening to Jolinda Corry speak about the dangers of rationing #insulin. Rationing is high among young adults & is correlated with high diabetes distress. No one with diabetes should have to ration insulin. #PatientsOverProfits

After an onslaught of attacks, reproductive rights are on the ballot in 2024. Proud to be endorsed by @NARAL as we work to restore Roe v. Wade protections for women across our country.

People in Illinois deserve a champion in Congress who will never back down against anti-abortion extremism, and @NikkiBudzinski is that champion. We’re proud to endorse Rep. Budzinski for reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Collective bargaining rights have led to better working conditions and higher wages for decades. Hardworking Americans cannot afford rulings that undermine the rights of workers on strike.

Justice KBJ: “Workers are not indentured servants, bound to continue laboring until any planned work stoppage would be as painless as possible for their master. [Their] collective and peaceful decision to withhold their labor is protected…even if economic injury results.”❤️

#SB873 has passed the Senate by a 28-2 vote. This bill puts #PatientsBeforeProfits and ensures 90% of prescription rebates are passed directly to patients at the pharmacy counter! This will make medicine more affordable! Thanks to @CAC_Updates @PatientPocket @DiabetesPAC #CALeg

Thank you @Portantino and members of the Senate Appropriations Committee for protecting California patients and advancing #SB873! Your support means we’re one step closer to reforming a broken system so patients benefit, not corporations. #PatientsBeforeProfits

LIVE: The HELP Committee is hearing testimony NOW from the CEOs of major insulin makers and the leaders of the major pharmacy benefit managers. We want to know why so many Americans cannot afford the medicine they need.

Drug companies claim over and over again they need HUGE profits for research and development, but over the past decade they spent more money on stock buybacks than research. Greed, greed, greed.

Since 2007, private health insurance companies spent $141 billion on stock buybacks. During that same time, the cost of the average family health insurance plan skyrocketed by 86% to $22,463 a year while average premiums soared by over $4,300. Yes. We need #MedicareForAll.
