Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted Republicans Sunday for considering cutting affordable insulin provisions for diabetics as the Senate begins considering, and likely scaling back, the multi-trillion dollar Build Back Better bill that the House passed Friday.

It’s been a rocky road for the Build Back Better bill, a framework that is set to provide economic relief through social safety nets as well as tackling climate change, racial equity, civil rights and immigration reform.
