so that includes of course our next speaker, please welcome steven hatfield. thank you very much. >> my name is steven hatfield and i'm from matthews, north carolina. i am 71 years old. a husband, a grandfather of three and a football fanatic. i also live with a rare blood cancer and type ii diabetes. two health conditions that require very expensive drugs. every month, the treatment i need to stay alive costs $16,000. i have been a hard worker all my life and i always had to work multiple jobs simultaneously so i can afford my medications. my doctors have constantly warned me over the years the strain of these jobs could seriously impact my health but i'm afraid if i retire i won't be able to afford what i need to survive. at times, i've had to forgo or ration some of my drugs because they were just so expensive. no one in america should have to live this way. that's why i'm so grateful to president biden for passing the inflation reduction act. it made a huge difference in my life. instead of having to pay $400 per month for insulin, i now get it for $35 and
