Congresswoman's report shows high cost of insulin in NW Oregon

The cost of insulin for Medicare recipients in Northwest Oregon is 4.6 times higher than it would be in Australia, according to a report recently released by Northwest Oregon Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici.

"No one should have to jeopardize their health or worry about affording food because of exorbitant prices for insulin," Bonamici said in the press release. "Companies are charging much more for these critical drugs in the U.S. than abroad, hurting seniors and families in Northwest Oregon and across the country."
