Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill on Wednesday capping the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $100 per month, making it the first state in the country to take such action, reports the Denver Post.
Why it matters: Axios' Caitlin Owens says people with diabetes are dependent on insulin, and as the price of the decades-old drug has increased, it has created problems for those who must take it, but can't afford it. Insulin is the classic outrage-inducing case of an old drug being marked up for no reason, with a hugely significant impact on patients who need it.
