  • Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden lowered the cost of insulin for seniors on Medicare. However, the numbers he cited during the June 2024 presidential debate were inaccurate. The Inflation Reduction Act capped insulin at $35 per month for seniors on Medicare, not $15 per shot. And insulin users on Medicare spent an average of $449 per year on insulin, not $400 per shot. On June 27, 2024, U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump faced each other for the first debate of the 2024 presidential election. Following the first question, regarding the economy, Biden claimed that he brought down the cost of a shot of insulin, to $15 from $400. "We brought down the price of prescription drugs, which is a major issue for many people, to $15 for an insulin shot, as opposed to $400," he said (viewable at 4:41 in the video): We looked into the claim, and found that while it's true that Biden brought the price of insulin down, the numbers he cited were not correct, so we have rated this claim a "Mixture" of truth and falsehood. Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law in August 2022, codifying measures that capped the cost of insulin for seniors on Medicare at $35 per month starting in January 2023. As a result, many drugmakers — including Eli Lilly, the largest manufacturer of insulin in the U.S. — lowered their prices accordingly. According to a 2022 study by the Department of Health and Human Services, insulin users on Medicare paid an average of $449 annually. Contrary to Biden's claim, a shot of insulin did not cost $400 before the Inflation Reduction Act.
