Protesters take anger over insulin prices to drug makers, some bearing children’s ashes

Stat News

12 November 2018 - On Mother’s Day, Nicole Smith-Holt, whose son died last year after rationing his insulin, protested insulin prices at a rally at the Minnesota state capitol. 

That same month, she traveled to Indianapolis to meet with a representative of the insulin maker Eli Lilly.

This week, she and another mother whose child died under similar circumstances plan to travel to the office of insulin maker Sanofi in Cambridge, Mass. They will also be holding their children’s ashes.

“It’s a visual reminder for them of what’s at stake,” Smith-Holt said, who will join activists in a “die-in” at the Sanofi office on Friday.
