INSULIN Act

The INSULIN Act is critical, bipartisan legislation that will make insulin more affordable and accessible for millions of Americans.  

The ADA has fought to make insulin affordable across the U.S., but it remains unaffordable for almost 30% of individuals, according to the ADA’s October 2025 national survey.

Sign the Petition in Support of the INSULIN Act:

The Improving Needed Safeguards for Users of Lifesaving Insulin Now Act of 2026 (INSULIN Act) will bring economic relief to millions of Americans with diabetes who use insulin and have private insurance. While we’ve made huge strides with the Medicare insulin cap and cost-sharing caps in 29 states and the District of Columbia, people who are uninsured or who have private insurance don’t benefit from these caps—and 1 in 6 still ration insulin due to cost.

The INSULIN Act will limit out-of-pocket costs to no more than $35 for at least one insulin of each type and dosage form on a plan’s formulary. It also establishes a five-year pilot program operated by federally qualified health centers, retail pharmacies, and manufacturer assistance programs, along with creating an insulin resource center and hotline.
