    I had a productive meeting with @POTUS at the @WhiteHouse today. We discussed #healthcare reform, lowering #drugprices, and combating the #opioids crisis.

        Ah, didn't you raise the price of insulin almost 300% when you were the head of Lilly? Shame! My friend on disability with no insurance couldn't afford the jump from $75 to $400 per month so started skimping on his dose to stretch it. He died two weeks ago. Shame!

        Lilly isn't the only one tripling the price of insulin. Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC. and Novo Nordisk have also raised their prices. Once I go into the Medicare donut hole (which should be about April) I will have to pay over $3,000 a month for my 2 insulins.

        My GOD! That's terrible! I'm on an oral hypoglycemic and very well controlled, but am so lucky to have Medicare Part D and my BC/BS. My heart hurts for you. No company should be allowed to charge that for a life saving drug that is hardly new!

        I have Medicare Part D & AARP/Unitedhealthcare RX insurance, & those $ amounts are under those policies. I am on 2 oral and 2 insulin medications. My numbers were fine until November 2016 when they shot up (coincidence?) & have been uncontrollable since and they don't know why.

        Oh, dear lord. How can you afford it? No wonder your numbers are up! Stress is a tremendous factor in driving up blood sugar. And I don't think anyone now can say they aren't stressed, unless they're named Alex Azar!

        Are you planning to lower drug prices like you did when you worked for Lilly? America can’t afford that.

        #capitalism & #healthcare DO NOT belong together in the same sentence. We have this #opioid #epidemic BECAUSE we put a price on fellow citizens health & inevitably when you price things some will not be able to afford it.

        Congress missed significant opportunity to lower #drugprices by failing to pass #CREATESAct as part of budget deal. @WhiteHouse & @HHSGov support for bill to enhance competition and patient access would help fulfill @realDonaldTrump pledge to lower Rx costs.

        The only reform needed is freedom for patients and their doctors to work effectively without 3rd party interference! Is that possible?
