The insulin provision in the final bill is limited to Medicare. It was stripped out for those enrolled in private-sector insurance plans.

Unfortunatly, I believe the last sentence in the fourth paragraph is incorrect, "Another is a $35 cap on monthly insulin costs." My understanding is that Senate Republicans stripped that feature out of the final draft passed by the Senate with a 50/50 tie decided by Vice President Harris. It's truly a shame because insulin need not cost as much as it does in the U.S. In countries that don't treat basic health care as a for-profit enterprise insulin is accessible at very reasonable cost. Apparently, millions of Americans who require insulin must all be Democrats.
