Gov. Tim Walz says he's open to special session on insulin prices

Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday that he wants to sign legislation as soon as possible to help people who can't afford insulin, but he made clear he would not call a special session until state legislators have worked out a deal.

The governor's remarks came after a roundtable discussion with people who have diabetes, advocates for insulin affordability, the executive director of the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy, a doctor and a nurse. The event seemed designed to pressure state lawmakers to act after the Legislature adjourned in May with no deal.
