Virginia governor Spanberger caps insulin at $35 a month

newsMay 15, 202613593

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed a law capping insulin copays at $35 per month for patients in the state. The limit applies to monthly insulin prescriptions and is designed to lower out-of-pocket costs for people with diabetes WHO must buy insulin regularly. The cap aims to reduce dangerous insulin rationing and ease the financial strain of chronic illness for affected Virginians.

Trump swore he’d lower costs and he’s done nothing but raise them. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger promised the same thing—and she just delivered a $35 insulin cap in less than four months. ❤️ Hit the like button to thank her!

Trump’s brand is now toxic in Australia too. His polls are cratering. And Democrats are actually lowering costs. November is coming.

Gov. Spanberger just capped insulin at $35/month for 800,000 Virginians in FOUR MONTHS. Meanwhile Trump’s brand is literally being rejected in Australia and his polls are in the toilet. The resistance is winning. Read it!

I adore Virginia Gov. Spanberger. If I ever became governor of my very red state, I'd unleash a blue tsunami like she's doing. Keep up the great work, Ma'am!

While the regime complains, real leaders are delivering: $35 insulin in Virginia + a pharmacy tech outplaying the GOP in Nebraska. This is what resistance looks like

UNITE HERE Local 25 Condemns Governor Spanberger’s Betrayal of Public Sector Workers Richmond, VA — UNITE HERE Local 25 joins labor unions from across the Commonwealth condemning Governor Spanberger’s veto of legislation that would grant the right to collectively bargain to half a million Virginians. In 2025, UNITE HERE members knocked thousands of doors for Spanberger, who promised during her campaign to support half a million workers in Virginia so they could “negotiate for the benefits and fair treatment that they’ve earned.” “Virginia workers deserve better from Governor Spanberger. These workers work hard for Virginia, and deserve a right to join a union. They deserve the same rights other Virginia workers have,” said Paul Schwalb, Executive-Secretary Treasurer of UNITE HERE Local 25. “We are grateful to those Democrats in the Legislature who fought hard this session for collective bargaining, and immensely disappointed that the governor has chosen to disregard them, the labor movement, and hundreds of thousands of Virginia workers.” “I am outraged and saddened by the governor’s veto,” said Carleigh Wallace, a custodian at the College of William & Mary. “Without the right to collectively bargain, my coworkers and I have no voice at work. We need a strong union to get the respect that we deserve, but we are denied our dignity at work every day. The Governor has left us behind.” The legislation would have overturned Virginia’s ban on collective bargaining that went into effect in the 1940s, when Black hospital workers organized at the University of Virginia Hospital. By vetoing the legislation, Spanberger upholds Jim Crow law. “We refuse to give up this fight,” said Carleigh Wallace at the College of William & Mary. “Our union is mobilizing in solidarity with unions and thousands of workers across the Commonwealth. We are powerful together, and we will win the respect that hardworking Virginians deserve.” ### UNITE HERE Local 25 is affiliated with UNITE H…

Yesterday, VA Gov Spanberger signed my bill banning non-compete clauses in healthcare professions. After I passed a ban on them for low-wage workers, doctors, nurses & healthcare workers came out of the woodwork w/ horror stories. It’s a victory for them, patients, and our system that they’re gone.

HOLY SMOKES: Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger just signed a bill capping insulin costs at $35 a month. The same insulin that Americans have been rationing because they can’t afford it. The same insulin that has killed people who skipped doses. Democrats keep getting this done at the state level.
