Commentary: Making health care work for Maine families like mine Nobody with diabetes should have to ration vials of insulin. A new package would hold drugmakers accountable and make medications more affordable. By Sabrina BurbeckSpecial to the Press Herald Share My son was 18 months old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Shortly after he had taken his first steps, I learned that his pancreas did not produce insulin – a chemical he needs to survive – on its own. The good news is that with the right medication, my son could go on to live a healthy and normal life – as long as he could afford it.

Sen Curry testifies in support of Making Health Care Work for Maine bill package

AUGUSTA – Senator Chip Curry, D-Belfast, testified earlier this week in favor of the Making Health Care Work for Maine bill package at a public hearing before the Legislature’s Health Coverage, Insurance and Financial Services Committee. The suite of bills put forward by Maine Senate Democrats targets outrageous health care spending, unsupported and extreme prescription drug price increases and drug price transparency. “Every day I hear from people in Waldo County who are making terrible, tough decisions to either pay the bills or afford their prescription drugs. In fact, the cost of medication is 256 percent higher in the U.S. than in at least 23 other countries,” said Sen. Curry. “All across Maine, working families are struggling to get by. Enough is enough. We know that the system isn’t working, and it’s time to fix it.”
