RICHMOND, Va. – Those living with diabetes will likely soon be able to pay less for needed insulin if Gov. Northam signs a bill passed Thursday in the General Assembly
On Thursday, an amended version of House Bill 66, which would limit the insurance copay for insulin at $50 for a 30-day supply, passed in both chambers.

My HB66, which will cap co-pays for insulin products at $50 for a one month supply, has passed both chambers and it's on its way to the governor.
