❌ 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 that’s not correct. The cap is for Medicare/Medicaid patients. Private insurance or people paying out of pocket was not covered.

Now, does the fact that Eli Lily was facing an ongoing series of articles and questions about “why is my cousin only paying $35?” have an impact? Absolutely. But the legislation didn’t require this.
