A bill allowing for an emergency insulin assistance program in Minnesota has gained approval in the House.
It now goes to the Senate for further discussion.
The bill is being seen as a way of helping diabetics in Minnesota who are struggling with the high cost of the life-saving medication in the state.
Some have been making trips to Fort Frances where insulin is a 10th of the price.
Others have been rationing their supply to make it last as long as possible.
