The insulin manufacturers are telling half truths. While they each offer financial assistance for those who otherwise cannot afford insulin, the process they require patients to go through is more complicated than the US Tax Code. The amount of paperwork and proof the patients must provide is extensive and highly scrutinized to the point I suspect patients don’t bother. Are the manufacturers discounting for those in need, absolutely….are they making the barriers to entry to obtain such assistance….well, give their assistance line a call and see for yourself.
My husband is a Type 1 diabetic and I can verify the comment above. I know that the bottom line is important. But if you could see what diabetics had to go through, you’d get it. I recently watched my husband jump through hoops to get a prescription to Humalog (an insulin from Lilly) because it works better in his pump that a less expensive alternative. My husband is a college professor, and the process was difficult for him. How difficult would it have been for someone less equipped to do all that hoop-jumping? Why does Lilly need to charge so much for an insulin brand that has been around for a long time and could save lives?
Lilly will buy off the politicians and be fine. I would love to hear from Andre Carson on this issue. Does anyone know any journalists?
Andre Carson is worthless. Amazing people keep blindly voting him in office.
Good! Go get ’em! My dad is a diabetic and he has to had to go without his much-needed insulin many times because my parents couldn’t afford it. The executives of these companies don’t feel any shame for their actions. I really just want deeply discounted insulin prices for my dad. It would also be satisfying to have these executives hauled before congress to explain their price gouging and be forced to apologize to the American people for the hardship they’ve caused everyday people – a little embarrassment and a few tears would be a bonus.
