Eli Lilly has settled a case with patients using insulin, who accused the company and others of artificially inflating prices of the lifesaving drug. Lilly will pay out a total of $13.5 million and will maintain their $35 a month out-of-pocket price cap for four years at minimum. The company, which claims no wrongdoing occurred, will apply this cap to three insulin products, Humalog, Humulin, and Basaglar.
