Insulin prices were capped for millions. But many still struggle to afford to life-saving medication.
21 February 2024 - Insulin prices recently decreased for some of the estimated 8.4 million Americans who rely on the medication to survive, as Medicare, some states and drug manufacturers moved to cap monthly costs at $35. But not all patients qualify.
"The vast majority of people qualify for some assistance. But exactly how much help you'll get could depend on the drug itself, your insurance, how big your deductible is and in some cases, even on your income," said Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF.
