Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson is suing three major drug manufacturers in federal court, alleging they fraudulently drove up the price of insulin — but will that case move forward after Swanson leaves office in January? “I sure hope they continue it,” Swanson says. “This is a really important case for the people of Minnesota.”
Democratic candidate Keith Ellison says as attorney general he’ll “hold pharmaceutical companies accountable and protect coverage for pre-existing conditions.” A spokesman for Doug Wardlow says the Republican candidate will not comment on any cases which might be before him if elected attorney general.
