Lilly Repeatedly Called Out During US Senate Hearing on Drug Pricing
Today, the Senate Finance Committee held the first hearing of 2019 and it highlighted US drug pricing (Drug Pricing in America: A Prescription for Change, Part I). A majority of the 3-hour discussion focused on Medicare Part B and D, Medicaid best pricing, 340B incentives, and diabetes insulin pricing in particular. Of note, when insulin was discussed, it was largely in the context of Lilly and Humalog with no mention of Novo or Sanofi. Below, FENIX provides diabetes-related highlights from the hearing and thoughts on the national discussion on drug pricing.
