Millions of Americans rely on insulin every day to stay alive. Yet this life-saving medication has become the center of a national pricing crisis.
Pharmaceutical companies and their middlemen have prioritized profits over human life. The Alvarez Law Firm views these practices as not just unfair but unlawful—and we are committed to holding those responsible accountable in court.
In the last 20 years, insulin costs in the U.S. have surged by more than 1,000%. A vial that once cost $20 now retails for about $300—even though experts say it costs just $3 to $6 to produce. The price hikes bear no connection to innovation or quality improvements. Instead, the increase is driven by a complex scheme involving insulin manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) designed to inflate prices and maximize profit.
Insulin was developed over a century ago. Its creators sold the patent for $1 to keep it accessible. Today, Americans pay the highest prices in the world for this same medication, and the reason is simple: corporate greed.
The insulin pricing system has been manipulated through secretive deals and rebate arrangements between drug makers and PBMs. Here’s how:
This pricing scheme isn’t a flaw in the system—it is the system. And it’s hurting people.
For patients with diabetes, insulin isn’t optional—it’s vital. Yet the exorbitant cost forces many to ration doses, skip refills or go without. Nearly one in four insulin users report taking less than prescribed due to cost. The consequences are often devastating emergency hospitalizations, organ damage, or a tragic death.
Families live with the constant fear that one missed paycheck or insurance issue could mean losing access to the drug that keeps them alive. This kind of suffering is unnecessary—and unacceptable. The Alvarez Law Firm is fighting to put an end to it.
