Sen­ate looks to take up House-passed mea­sure to cap in­sulin prices — a move Eli Lil­ly sup­ports

The fa­mil­iar bi­par­ti­san pair of Sens. Su­san Collins (R-ME) and Jeanne Sha­heen (D-NH) un­veiled a bill to­day, which Ma­jor­i­ty Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said would come for a vote soon, to curb month­ly in­sulin costs to $35.

The duo has been work­ing to get some­thing on in­sulin passed since at least 2019, al­though it’s un­clear if they’ll win over enough Re­pub­li­can sup­port, even as the list prices of in­sulin have con­tin­ued to sky­rock­et.
