CNBC: Walmart unveils low-price insulin as more patients with diabetes struggle to pay for drug

Melissa Repko
June 29, 2021

HCCI’s research on the price of insulin was featured in CNBC. 

From the article: “As the number of people with diabetes climbs, the cost of the 100-year-old drug has soared rather than fallen and drawn scrutiny from lawmakers. The annual cost of insulin for people with Type 1 diabetes in the U.S. nearly doubled from $2,900 in 2012 to $5,700 in 2016, according to the most recent data available from the Health Care Cost Institute.”
