Making Insulin Affordable Again

The price of insulin has risen steadily over the last decade, prompting lawmakers and patients to question why such a life-saving medication is so expensive. The United States population is at around 320 million and out of that about 6 million individuals are diabetic and require insulin. Making insulin affordable again is an important aspect of healthcare that directly affects countless Americans.

When your body is unable to process sugar, then you have type 1 diabetes and require insulin to function. With insulin becoming unaffordable for so many low-income families, action must be taken to make this necessary medication available for those that need it most. Just in recent years, the prices for vials of insulin have jumped significantly. Reporting by WebMD explains how Eli Lilly’s Humalog saw a jump in wholesale prices from $116 to $264 along with many other brands following a similar disturbing pattern. The rising cost of medication is a problem not just for insulin but for a variety of drugs. The ACHA (American Health Care Act) could also have an effect on insulin pricing and from the current estimates, things are not looking positive for patients.
