Seniors across the country are starting the new year with lower out-of-pocket costs for insulin thanks to President Biden and Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act — which every single Republican in Congress voted against. Starting this year, the Inflation Reduction Act’s historic cost-saving provisions go into effect, capping insulin prices at $35 a month.

Here’s what they’re watching on local TV about how President Biden and Democrats capped the cost of insulin — no thanks to Republicans:
