HARRISBURG – Two state lawmakers have introduced legislation that would cap out-of-pocket insulin prices at $35 a month. Lehigh County Rep. Jeanne McNeill says insulin prices have been skyrocketing for decades in PA and sadly too many people are resorting to rationing their life-sustaining medicine or deciding between it and putting food on their table or paying their bills. Delaware County Rep. Mike Zabel said their legislation would alleviate the financial stress of so many who have been unfairly forced to choose between their medication and other basic necessities. Twenty-one states have passed similar insulin co-pays. House Bill 2878 has been referred to the House Insurance Committee for consideration.
