Kentucky governor Andy Brashear signed House bill 95 yesterday (Monday).
The bill will help Kentuckians with diabetes by capping the cost of insulin at $30 per 30-day supply for those with state-regulated health care plans or plans purchased on the marketplace exchange, state employees and people under group plans.
Before it was sent to Governor Beshear’s desk, HB 95 passed the Kentucky House of Representatives and Kentucky Senate without a single negative vote.
While companies pay $2 to $7 to manufacture a single vial, some Kentuckians have had to pay more than $1,000 a month for their lifesaving supply.
