Millions of Americans need insulin to live.

But for decades, one in six of them

hadn't been able to afford it.

Antoinette Worsham carries the ashes

of her 22-year-old daughter, Antavia,

who died last year after being forced to ration insulin

she couldn't afford at $1,000 a month.

It's either pay your rent, pay your car payment,

is saying it will cap the price.

Drug maker Eli Lilly says it will cap

out of pocket costs for insulin at $35 a month.

But even that price would have the creators

of this drug rolling in their graves.

got so expensive and whether a price cap on insulin

could lead to cheaper drug costs across the board.

Bormadeh, today explain other way to start that.
