Insulin access and affordability affect the well-being of millions of Americans. In the 116th Congress (2019-2020), seven bipartisan bills were introduced to address this issue. In this article, the authors group the seven bills into five categories (enhancing price transparency, limiting cost-sharing, changing biosimilar regulations, certifying prices, and permitting importation), summarize the main content of these bills, and discuss their implications. Understanding the bipartisan insulin pricing policy proposals can facilitate the development of a feasible legislative agenda to improve insulin access and affordability.
胰岛素的可及性和可负担性影响着数百万美国人的福祉。在第116届国会（2019 - 2020年）期间，共提出了七项两党法案来解决这一问题。在本文中，作者将这七项法案分为五类（提高价格透明度、限制费用分担、改变生物类似药监管规定、认证价格以及允许进口），总结了这些法案的主要内容，并讨论了它们的影响。了解两党胰岛素定价政策提案有助于制定可行的立法议程，以改善胰岛素的可及性和可负担性。
