8:24Now PlayingLast winter, Senator Matt Little, DFL-Lakeville, organized a roundtable discussion on the skyrocketing cost of insulin. The panel heard testimony from people whose lives have been impacted by the high prices, including Nicole Smith-Holt. Smith-Holt's son Alec died last year after attempting to ration his insulin supply until his next payday. Senator Melissa Wiklund, DFL-Bloomington, joins Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to talk about the Alec Smith Emergency Insulin Act, a bill that would create a fund to provide emergency insulin to diabetics struggling to afford it through a tax on insulin makers.
