Colorado becomes first state to put cap on rising insulin prices
24 May 2019 - In the latest pushback against surging insulin prices, Colorado has become the first state in the nation to put a cap on the cost of the medication.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed legislation Wednesday capping co-payments on insulin for Americans with private insurance at $100 per month. That ceiling is way under the typical cost of the medicine, which can range from $600 to $900 per month.
"The days of insulin price gouging are over in Colorado," Polis said.
