NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. “In America, we pay far too much for prescription drugs,” said Senator Kirsten Gillibrand during her appearance in Niagara Falls Monday morning.
And it’s not hard to find an example to back up Gillibrand.
Insulin is a life-saving drug for the millions who have diabetes. One commonly used brand is NovoLog. On the website GoodRx, that monitors prescription prices we found a five pack of injector pens selling for $243.10 at a Rite Aid in Buffalo. Across the Niagara River, at the pharmacy inside the Fort Erie WalMart, the same insulin pens sell for $77.82 (US Dollars).
