Gov. Spanberger signed a law capping insulin copays at $35 per month for insured Virginians. The measure covers about 800,000 Virginians and takes effect in four months. The law also restricts insurer prior authorization practices that had forced patients to wait weeks for insulin. By cutting monthly costs and shortening approval delays, the policy aims to prevent dangerous treatment interruptions and could serve as a model for other states tackling prescription affordability.
