Minnesota Senate Republicans unveiled the Minnesota Insulin Patient Assistance Program today, a new plan to provide access to insulin for Minnesotans unable to afford the high cost of this life-saving medicine.

Senator Jason Rarick (R-Brook Park) released the following statement:

“I have heard so many tragic stories of people losing their lives because they can’t afford insulin. It’s 2019. That shouldn’t happen. Most insurance providers have said they will cap insulin costs at $25 per month. That will help most people, but not all. Our plan will cover thousands of families who still might have trouble affording insulin.”
