KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jackson County Executive Frank White, Jr. has issued the following statement in response to today’s announcement that pharmaceutical manufacturer Eli Lilly will cap its out-of-pocket insulin prices at $35/month:
“This is welcome news to me and the residents of Jackson County, which is in the highest quartile of Missouri counties with adults diagnosed with diabetes. I strongly urge other drug makers to follow Eli Lilly’s price adjustment so we can put an end to the insulin price-gouging that is forcing many to choose between buying their life-saving medication or food to eat.
“The County continues its lawsuit against insulin manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers, which alleges they engaged in unlawful rebate schemes that unnecessarily increased the price of insulin for consumers and healthcare payors. We remain committed to holding them accountable for the harm they’ve caused and fighting on behalf our residents until insulin prices are affordable.”
