Insulin For All Act Congress Letter
Writing to our local representatives is one of the best ways to make change happen. It is our Congress Members’ job to represent the interest of their constituents and it is our duty to let them know which issues matter to us!
The Insulin for All Act of 2023 is a long overdue bill that will change the lives of millions of Americans, preventing insulin rationing due to the current inflated market price of the drug.
Because this issue means so much to me, I have reached out to my representatives to urge them to make changes to legislation regarding access to affordable insulin.
This is the letter I am mailing to my local representatives:
[Date]
[Your Address]
The Honorable [Senator’s First and Last Name]
U.S. House of Representatives/U.S. Senate
Washington, DC, 20515
Dear Senator/Representative [Last Name],
As a constituent and a member of the diabetic community, I am writing to urge you to cosponsor the Insulin For All Act of 2023. This legislation would provide access to affordable insulin for every diabetic that relies on the drug to live.
The Insulin For All Act of 2023 provides a solution for the current price gouging that United States based insulin manufacturers are partaking in. The price of insulin in the United States is nine times more than all other OECD countries. The inflated costs have forced over 1.3 million Americans living with diabetes to ration their insulin, resulting in long term complications and death.
Because of this, I strongly urge you to cosponsor the Insulin for All Act of 2023. If you do not support the passing of this legislation, I will be forced to campaign for your opponent in the upcoming election.
Please let me know if you or your staff would like any additional information regarding this important legislation, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
In addition to mailing a physical letter, I am also sending this email to reiterate my position.
Subject line: Act Now to Support Access to Affordable Insulin!
Dear Senator/Representative [Last Name],
As a member of the diabetic community, I am urging you to cosponsor the Insulin For All Act of 2023.
The Insulin For All Act of 2023 provides access to affordable insulin for all American diabetics and would stop the rationing of this life saving drug due to the current market price. Three large manufacturers currently control the market and have priced insulin 9x higher for Americans than any other OECD country.
The Insulin For All Act of 2023 will drastically improve and save the lives of millions.
I strongly urge you to cosponsor the Insulin for All Act of 2023. If you do not support the passing of this legislation, I will be forced to campaign for your opponent in the upcoming election.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
If you’re at a loss for words but want to reach out to your local representatives to make your voice heard, feel free to put your personal touch on my template.
