Legislative Activity: SDP<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Funding for the Special Diabetes Program<\/a> was included in a September 30 continuing resolution (CR) at $19.7 million until November 17.\u00a0Breakthrough T1D<\/a> has a goal of advocating for at least 1 year of funding at $150 million, but the ultimate goal is for a multi-year renewal at $170 million per year. Both the House and the Senate have language that has been introduced that calls for the SDP to be renewed at $170 million until December 2025.<\/p>\n

Breakthrough T1D Advocacy has released an action alert to thank Members of Congress who voted ‘yes’ on the CR that included funding for the SDP and to ask for a multi-year renewal when Congress negotiates funding for the remainder of fiscal year 2024. We encourage you to act today and forward it to your family, friends and networks. www.breakthrought1d.org\/sdpthx<\/a><\/p>\n

Our advocacy will be important here to ensure a multi-year renewal!<\/p>\n

INSULIN Act<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Senators Collins and Shaheen introduced S. 1269, the INSULIN Act of\u00a02023.\u00a0 Breakthrough T1D endorsed this bill and has been a key partner in developing it.<\/p>\n

This bill includes a $35 commercial insurance copay cap, passes rebates through to\u00a0health plans, and encourages biosimilar competition.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Schumer remains interested in moving a healthcare\u00a0package that would include insulin affordability and Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) reform.\u00a0 Attention will shift to the House to act on insulin affordability if the Senate\u00a0passes a bill.<\/p>\n

We continue to support the INSULIN Act \u2013 take action here<\/a>!<\/p>\n
