Eli Lilly Cuts Price of Insulin in the Wake of the Coronavirus

Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) is giving diabetes patients in the U.S. a break. The pharmaceutical giant is capping the out-of-pocket cost of most of its insulins to $35 per month to help ease the financial burden on diabetics who might be facing financial challenges due to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus outbreak.
