A bipartisan House and Senate working group remain stuck in their efforts to find a way to get Minnesota diabetics access to emergency insulin, a public hearing on Wednesday made clear.
Leading lawmakers in both parties have made it a high priority to create a state insulin assistance program since the 2019 legislative session began nearly 12 months ago.
But state legislators and Gov. Tim Walz have yet to reach agreement on how to tackle the issue, even blowing past a late November deadline the governor had set for taking action.
