Cost shift

Draft summary, still being checked against the official bill text. Read the source to confirm.

This bill would make insurance companies charge you no more than $25 a month for the supplies you need to check your blood sugar and take insulin.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Right now, people with diabetes can pay a lot of money for the tools they need to stay alive. This bill would step in and cap those out-of-pocket costs at $25 for a month of supplies. It also says insurance companies cannot charge a deductible for equipment that lasts longer than a month. If this passes, it will save families a ton of money and force insurers to pick up the tab. Insurance companies might fight this to protect their profits, so it is important to watch what happens next.
