As I stand before you as a dedicated "Defender of Our Republic" and a Republican, I hold a resolute commitment to championing accessible healthcare, particularly for those grappling with diabetes. My advocacy centers on rectifying the glaring issue of exorbitant costs associated with diabetes treatment.

In our pursuit of a just and fair Republic, it is imperative that we address the perpetual patent renewal of insulin types, which has fostered a government-protected monopoly leading to inflated prices and limited competition. The stark reality that the original insulin patent was once sold for a mere $1 underscores the divergence from its original purpose of affordability.

I am steadfast in my belief that competitive healthcare costs, is an inherent right of the U.S. Citizen to shop and that no individual should be denied life-saving medication due to financial constraints established by a monopoly of which all monopolies are government facilitated. My mission is clear: to champion the cessation of perpetual patent renewals for insulin, fostering an environment of increased competition in the pharmaceutical realm.

By advocating for these changes, I aim to alleviate the financial burdens faced by families and individuals wrestling with diabetes. My commitment to dismantling barriers aligns with the core tenets of justice, equality, and the well-being of every citizen. Together, we can shape a future where essential medications are within reach for all, echoing the principles upon which our great Republic was founded.
