Uninsured US patients pay up to $330 for Eli Lilly’s $25 insulin, Senator Warren says
13 July 2023 - Americans without health insurance pay an average of $98 for Eli Lilly’s generic insulin despite the company’s May 1 pledge to cut its list price to $25/vial, according to a survey of more than 300 US pharmacies by US Senator Elizabeth Warren’s office released on Thursday.
Warren’s survey of chain and independent pharmacies across all 50 states, carried out between June 9 and 28, found a third of drug stores charged $164 or more to uninsured patients for Lilly’s Insulin Lispro. The highest-priced pharmacy wanted $330.
