In California alone, this will benefit millions of diabetes patients, but these changes won't help everyone dealing with this disease.
The White House released new data on who can benefit from President Joe Biden's cap on insulin costs.
"You can pay up to $400 to $600 to $800 a month extra, on top of your health insurance payments, for one vial or three vials of insulin," said diabetes patient JP Qualters. "They are typically younger patients, kids, teenagers, even young adults," he said. "They just dial in the dose, remove that cap to the needle, and just self-inject. It so much easier than having to draw from a vial."
"Every other company making insulin is going to have to lower their prices to $35 because they can't compete," said Biden.
