To keep advocating for others, I need to afford my medications. But with prices so high, there are no guarantees I’ll be able to afford the medicine I need to live.

Take a look at this year's price hikes to see why Congress must act now.

This insulin is currently priced at almost $300 per bottle. It is luxury pricing for a medication that I literally cannot live without.

I have to scrimp and save to afford to eat. But I know other senior citizens who are much worse off — some are even eating cat food to be able to afford their drugs.

Drug prices have made me sicker and far less functional than I would be if I had affordable access to the proper medications.
