""A vial of insulin that cost $21 in 1999 in the U.S. cost $332 in 2019" -- is something the Democrats need to be calling out as we head to the midterms." That was my first thought. The campaign ads would write themselves. Why don't the Democrats go hard against those that voted against regulating the cost of insulin?

Oh, I'm sure that will happen- actually it already is, as state election campaigns start up. Also, pay attention to what is happening at state level, where quite a few states already have set limits or have bills in the hopper. The real popularity contest may not be in Congress, though we seem to think that's the case. It's happening in local politics, which this year includes (la, la) the Congressional midterms. Give attention, give time, give money to the local and state and congressional candidates who reflect your values. God knows that's what the Republicans are doing, and that's the real problem.
