Endocrine Society Letter to Senators Warren and Blumenthal on Insulin Pricing

January 22, 2020

To: Senators Elizabeth Warren & Richard Blumenthal

"We were disappointed that your findings confirmed our concerns about access to affordable insulin as it had been our hope that new, lower cost alternatives and patient assistance programs were beginning to make a dent in this critical problem. We have been working with key stakeholders over the past two years to address this issue and requested information from manufacturers about the availability and use of lower cost options for people with diabetes. To us, it is not enough for these programs to be merely available; patient and clinician education must be expanded to ensure that individuals who desperately need access to lower cost insulin know and understand their options and have easy access to them."
