The Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Finance and Policy committee was scheduled to hold a hearing Monday on a bill designed to help people struggling to pay for the insulin they need. Under the proposal, drug manufacturers would be required to supply insulin to physicians at no cost. The physicians would then provide free insulin to patients whose family income is less than 400 percent of the federal poverty line.
MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with state Sen. Eric Pratt, R-Prior Lake, who is sponsoring the bill.
