President Joe Biden, along with congressional leaders, has called for lower insulin prices for those on commercial plans. The Inflation Reduction Act caps out-of pocket insulin costs at $35 per calendar month for Medicare beneficiaries. <\/p>\n<p>French pharmaceutical company Sanofi said Thursday that it would limit the monthly out-of pocket costs for its most popular insulin Lantus to $35 for patients who have insurance. It also announced that Apidra will be priced at 70% less starting in the new year. <\/p>\n<p><b>REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRATS SEE DRUG PRICING REFORM IN NEW CONGRESS <\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Biden sees the reductions as a victory in the application of pressure. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All three of the leading insulin producers in America have agreed to substantially reduce their prices, following my calls to expand my $35 cap for seniors to all Americans. Sanofi is the latest company to recognize that charging hundreds of dollars for insulin that costs $10 to produce is just wrong, especially when the lives of so many children, parents, and grandparents depend on it,&#8221; Biden made the statement in a statement on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sanofi believes that no one should struggle to pay for their\u00a0insulin,\u00a0and we are\u00a0proud of our continued actions to improve access and affordability for millions of patients for many years. Our decision to cut the list price of our lead insulin needs to be coupled with broader change to the overall system to\u00a0actually drive\u00a0savings for patients at the pharmacy counter,&#8221; Olivier Bogillot is the U.S. head of general medicines for Sanofi. <\/p>\n<p>Sanofi already caps insulin at $35 per person for those without insurance. <\/p>\n<p>Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader (D-NY), asked Sanofi to reduce the insulin list price voluntarily after Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly announceds. He claimed that this would help save money. &#8220;save lives and move our country one step closer to ending our insulin affordability crisis.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><b>CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM THE WASHINGTON XAMINER<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>During negotiations for the Inflation Reduction Act (the law), Republican senators rejected a proposal to increase the insulin price cap for private insurance. However, the law passed later without GOP support. <\/p>\n<p>In his budget proposal last week, Biden included a provision to limit monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 for commercial plan members.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;Read more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/sanofi-becomes-latest-manufacturer-cut-insulin-prices\">Privately insured private clients pay only $35 per month to the top three insulin manufacturers<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The three largest insulin manufacturers in the United States have all announced they will cap out-of-pocket costs of their popular insulin products at $35 per month, following political pressure from Congress.
