Inside the class-action lawsuit against insulin pricing, with Attorney Steve Berman


Listen Later

This week, talking with one of the lawyers bringing a class-action lawsuit against the insulin companies.. a lawsuit that has been inching forward since 2017. It was set to be settled for 500-million dollars and a four year price cap, but then judge said no.  Attorney Steve Berman will talk about that last minute surprise, why he’s still going forward, and  what he needs now from the diabetes community.

This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.

My guest is Attorney Steven Berman from the firm Hagens (Haagens like Haagen Daas) Berman. Steve co-founded Hagens Berman in 1993 after his prior firm refused a fast food e coli case. That turned out to be the famous case against Jack in the Box, which resulted in a class action settlement and changed many food safety laws. He’s also been involved in cases against Big Tobacco and, as you’ll hear, other medical pricing lawsuits.
