Thank you to all the people impacted by type 1 diabetes across the country who reached out to me after I shared my story.
And thank you to @loiskolkhorst, @EddieLucioIII, and @FourPriceTX for helping us get this bill passed.

This bill is a big step forward, but it’s certainly not perfect.
It doesn’t cover uninsured Texans and it only applies to state-regulated health plans.
We have a lot more work to do.

This is not the only insulin bill this session.
I’m proud to joint-author Kevin’s Law with @BucyForTexas allowing Texans to get an emergency insulin refill.
I’m also co-authoring HB 18 with @TomOliverson making insulin available at a discounted rate to uninsured Texans.

We’re making progress toward our eventual goal: free insulin.
Because insulin is not a product; it’s a human right.
