Minnesota state Senator John Jasinski (R-Faribault) today released the following statement in response to the lawsuit filed by PhRMA against the Alec Smith Affordable Insulin Act:

 

“A lot of people spent a lot of time and energy to get this compromise done, for one reason: we all wanted to help people afford their insulin so they can simply stay alive. It’s incredibly disappointing that PhRMA would swoop in on the day the bill was to take effect, two and a half months after it passed, to attempt to permanently block that good, important work.”
