Making Insulin Affordable for All Children Act

# Making Insulin Affordable for All Children Act - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to reduce the cost of insulin for children by capping out-of-pocket expenses at $35 per month for young people under age 21. The measure would apply to insulin purchased through most health insurance plans. By limiting what families pay directly for insulin, the legislation seeks to ensure that cost is not a barrier to children receiving this life-saving medication for diabetes. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily benefit children and teenagers with diabetes (both Type 1 and Type 2) whose families struggle with insulin affordability.

It would also affect health insurance companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers, as it would limit their ability to charge higher out-of-pocket costs for this medication. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 2636 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) in the 119th Congress. For the bill to become law, it would need to advance through committee review, pass both the House and Senate, and receive the President's signature.
