Applaud Gov. Spanberger for Lowering Healthcare Costs

Virginia is taking major steps to make healthcare more affordable — and it deserves applause.

Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed a bipartisan package of bills to lower healthcare and prescription drug costs, including legislation that caps insulin costs at just $35 for a 30-day supply under state-regulated health plans.

These reforms will help families afford lifesaving medications, reduce delays in care, and expand access to essential health services across the state.

For too many Americans, the cost of healthcare forces impossible choices between paying bills and getting treatment. This legislation is about putting people first and making sure families can access the care they need without financial hardship.

The new laws also strengthen protections against insurance barriers, lower prescription costs, and expand coverage for critical services like hearing aids, infertility treatment, and doula care.

This is what people-centered leadership looks like: practical solutions that improve lives and make healthcare more accessible for everyone.

Add your name to applaud Gov. Spanberger and the bipartisan leaders working to lower healthcare costs and support Virginia families.
