Kansas Rep. Sharice Davids calling for more transparency with rising price of insulin

There is new evidence about rising drug costs in the Kansas City metro area.

A Congressional report found that Medicare clients in Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas paid $16 million for their insulin in 2016.

And it's probably more than that now.

Jessica Brown's 11-year-old son has been on insulin for most of his life.

"It has gone steadily up," Brown said. "It wasn't one year to the next that it was so much higher that it was alarm bells. But every year I think, 'This is not how much it was last year.' Let me go back and look."

Kansas Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids is calling for more transparency about the rising price of insulin.
