❌ 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 googled this today after reading about the "cap" at 35$ per dose, which still appeared quite costly to me and I wanted to know what it would cost here in Germany and other countries around the world.
Stumbled on this:

Sources are at the bottom.
TLDR: a comparable dose would cost about a third of those 35$ and probably be covered by your (mandatory) health insurance.
I'm sure many of your readers and you know about this already.
