❌ Eli Lilly lowers the cost of insulin in U.S.
✅ Eli Lilly reluctantly complies with Democratic law that caps out-of-pocket cost of insulin

Eli Lilly is a global corporation that actively participates and defends its role in the insulin oligopoly. Eli Lilly isn't capping the cost of jack squat. Eli Lilly was forced to stop exploiting patients－ that's the story, and the headline. Do better, editors.

@DataDrivenMD I thought the law only imposed the $35 cap for Medicare patients, and now Eli Lilly is saying the cap will be for everyone. So I think they are doing a little more than the bare minimum?

@nguarracino @DataDrivenMD it won't be for everyone. If you don't have insurance, you'll pay full price unless you register for yet another bureaucracy program run by Eli Lily.

How many people won't know about the program?

Or they could have JUST MADE THE PRICE $35. They still want to reap windfall profit from people who will die without it.
