Kathy Castor, Susan Valdes slam Rick Scott over record on insulin, Medicare

Democrats hope a vote against lowering insulin costs keeps U.S. Sen. Rick Scott’s blood pressure high.

The Florida Democratic Party held a press conference to slam the Naples Republican for voting down on legislation to reduce drug costs. U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, a Tampa Democrat, headlined the presser. From a podium at the Health Matters Community Pharmacy in Tampa, she criticized the Senator for failing to help diabetic Floridians.

“He voted against capping the price of insulin. He voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate fair prices. He has never been on the side of working people,” Castor said.
