        There's nothing questionable. It's price gouging pure and simple, and it's killing people. Congress, as you know, has banned the manufacture of generic biologics because pharma pays you people. Why not fix that?

        Here in the States a 5ml vial of insulin, which is less than a thirty day supply for many type 1 diabetics can cost up to 500 dollars. Don't forget, insulin is an essential metabolic hormone that no one can live without for more than a couple of days.

        School districts keep insulin so provide a steady market. Trump knows that and it’s no stretch to believe he appointed the crook that oversaw the increase in prices.

        Insulin is literally the difference between life & death for countless children & adults in the U.S.- including my own husband. To raise rates on a product needed for survival shows a clear lack of empathy for ppl w Type 1 diabetes. This is not an appropriate pick to lead HHS.

        My daughter-in-law, Type I diabetic, can’t afford her insulin any longer. The insurance company won’t pay for the insulin her doctor says she should be on. She’s now to pay $650 and $250 per month. Has gone into DKA twice now. This is what’s happening in our country.

        Yes. Insulin prices rose astronomically while Azar was an exec at Lilly. Some advocate for lower drug prices. She and a shame.

        My 15 year old has T1d and relies on insulin to live. Preposterous that the costs to keep her alive and thriving are ever increasing. I can’t imagine what she will have to pay in 10 years. College? Grad school? Groceries? Gas? Or insulin. Shame on Azar.
