Rep. Diana DeGette presided over a hearing yesterday on insulin prices.
“For people with diabetes, insulin can be as essential as air,” said Steve Miller, Cigna’s chief clinical officer. “We need to ensure these individuals feel secure in their ability to afford every fill so they don’t miss one dose.” But Express Script’s move comes while under a harsh spotlight, as one of several leading pharmacy middlemen often accused of failing to pass on to patients discounts provided by drugmakers
For one thing, a huge number of Americans live with diabetes; of the 30 million Americans with the illness, 7.4 million rely on insulin. And Sanofi’s Lantus, a long-acting insulin used to keep blood sugars stable throughout the day, became 77 percent more expensive between 2013 and 2019. — In a long and rambling speech that prompted laughter but also head shakes among attendees, President Trump targeted health care last night at the annual National Republican Congressional Committee spring dinner.
The guys who sabotage any healthcare are drug manufacturers. Best to import generics to get them to reduce prices.

A health insurance company lowered the price here not the manufacturer .. its the record profit insurance companies that have the power here
