Lexington lawmaker wants to cap EpiPen costs at $100 yearly

LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — A bill sponsored by Lexington Rep. Adam Moore would limit out-of-pocket costs for two EpiPen devices to $100 per year for both public and private insurance in Kentucky.

Moore said EpiPens cost as little as $15 to $30 to make but can sell for up to $700 depending on the brand.

To gain support, Moore, a Democrat, is meeting one-on-one with Republicans.

He said he will continue these meetings if the measure makes it to the Senate.
