A fake Eli Lilly account, verified with Twitter Blue, tweeted that insulin was free.

Pharmaceutical manufacturer Eli Lilly announced on Wednesday that it will cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 per month for people with private insurance — a massive reduction in price for a life-saving medicine for people with diabetes.Over 30 million Americans have diabetes, and about 8 million of them need daily insulin, which can cost over $1,000 a month, even for people with insurance. Many diabetics, unable to afford insulin, have been rationing their supplies and using less than they need. In a few highly publicized cases, people who couldn't afford it and were rationing insulin have died.
