Public hearing in Hartford today on proposed diabetes supply cost cap

A public hearing is being held today at the state capitol on a proposed bill to cap costs for insulin at $50 a month, and diabetes-related equipment and supplies at $100 per month.  Kent Representative Maria Horn says she has heard from a constituent recently about the experience of her now college-age daughter who has Type I diabetes and the magnitude of the costs they have to juggle, and back-up plans they put in place to protect their daughter.  The bill would also make these supplies available without a prescription in certain circumstances. The Insurance & Real Estate Committee will have a public hearing on the bill on Tuesday at 11am.  Written testimony can be emailed to instestimony@cga.ct.gov.
