Markley, Bonamici target high insulin proces
November 15, 2019
Sen. Jeff Merkley introduced legislation to end "exorbitant price hikes" on insulin.
The End Price Gouging for Insulin Act comes as a new report highlights the high cost of insulin in Northwest Oregon.
The report, produced for U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, found that Medicare beneficiaries in the region pay more than $1,000 more per year in out-of-pocket costs for some diabetes medications than people in Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada.
