Attorney General Todd Rokita Holds Eli Lilly Accountable for Insulin Price Gouging with New Lawsuit

Attorney General Todd Rokita is taking decisive action against Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Company by filing a new lawsuit to address the deceptive market practices that artificially inflated insulin prices.

This lawsuit, building on Indiana’s prior actions against other insulin manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), seeks to hold Eli Lilly accountable for its role in a scheme that drove up costs, recover damages for affected Hoosiers, and ensure such behavior never happens again.

Nearly 700,000 Indiana residents have been diagnosed with diabetes, with millions more being pre-diabetic. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, and lower-limb amputations, and a major cause of death in Indiana despite effective treatments being available.


For years, Hoosiers with diabetes struggled as insulin prices skyrocketed over 1,000%, forcing families to ration life-saving medicine or face impossible costs—all while production costs remained extremely low, estimated at just a few dollars per vial.

“Pharmaceutical companies should not take advantage of Hoosiers or any other American—this includes Lilly, regardless of its Indiana roots,” Attorney General Rokita said. “For two years, I attempted to resolve this matter with them amicably and without litigation—an effort not required by the state and one not afforded to Lilly’s out-of-state competitors. Lilly, which maintains by far the largest market share for insulin, rejected this outreach and consumed two years of time. Not to worry—we intend to have Indiana added to the ongoing multistate litigation, where we will share in the results of evidence already uncovered and any settlement or judgment.”

Prior accountability efforts, including Indiana’s earlier lawsuit, have already prompted manufacturers—including Eli Lilly—to substantially reduce prices and introduce $35 monthly out-of-pocket caps for many patients. This new action builds on that progress by pursuing injunctive relief to prevent future abuses, along with damages and penalties to benefit affected consumers and ensure lasting accountability.

This action is part of Attorney General Rokita’s ongoing efforts to ease healthcare burdens for Hoosiers. Since taking office, he has secured a $66.5 million settlement against Centene; a $573 million multistate settlement against McKinsey & Company for its role in the opioid epidemic; nearly $7 million in a Medicaid fraud settlement against Mallinckrodt; a $39.1 million multistate settlement with Apotex over generic drug price-fixing; assisted in a multistate opioid settlement against the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma; and announced an 11th multistate opioid deal—bringing the total opioid funds secured for Indiana to $1.1 billion. Additionally, he has taken action against pharmaceutical companies for allegedly spiking EpiPen prices by 600% while deceiving Hoosier
consumers.

Eligible Hoosiers will share an estimated $10.5 million from Google settlement

Attorney General Todd Rokita provides details on what to expect

Attorney General Todd Rokita recently announced that eligible Hoosiers can start taking steps to receive their share of approximately $10.5 million coming to Indiana consumers as part of a $700 million national settlement that Attorney General Rokita and other attorneys general reached with Google in 2023 over the company’s alleged anticompetitive conduct with the Google Play Store.


“This is a big win for all Hoosiers and consumers nationwide,” Attorney General Rokita said. “For too long, big tech corporations have leveraged their monopoly power to extract profits at the expense of hardworking Americans. This final settlement, if approved, will put money back in the pockets of those it rightfully belongs to.”


Google has already paid $630 million into a settlement fund, from which restitution will be made to consumers. People eligible for restitution do not have to submit a claim. In most cases, they will receive automatic payments through PayPal or Venmo, or they can elect to receive a check or ACH transfer.


Nonetheless, Attorney General Rokita advised Hoosiers to be proactive.


“All Hoosiers who have or had a Google Play account should visit the settlement website and enter your contact information,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Doing so now will ensure that applicable consumers are notified once the final settlement has been approved by the court and funds start dispersing.”

Beyond the $10.5 million in restitution paid to individual Hoosiers, the State of Indiana will also receive an anticipated $1.4 million in penalties paid by Google. Updated calculations will produce more precise monetary figures in the weeks to come.


A bipartisan group of 53 attorneys general sued Google in 2021, alleging that it unlawfully monopolized the markets for Android app distribution and in-app payment processing. Specifically, the states claimed that Google signed anticompetitive contracts to prevent other app stores from being preloaded on Android devices, induced key app developers who might have launched rival app stores, and created technological barriers to deter consumers from directly downloading apps to their devices.


Once the settlement has been approved by the court, consumers will receive an email from PayPal or a text from Venmo notifying them of their incoming payment at the email address or mobile phone number associated with their Google Play account. If that email address or phone number is also associated with a PayPal or Venmo account, then the payment will be made directly to that account. If that email address or phone number does not match an email address or phone number associated with a PayPal or Venmo account, then consumers have the option to create a new account or direct the payment to a PayPal or Venmo account at another email address or phone number.


There will be a supplemental claims process after the automatic payments process is complete for consumers who either:

- Do not have an existing PayPal or Venmo account and do not want to sign up for PayPal or Venmo;
- No longer have access to the email address or mobile phone number associated with their Google Play account; or
- Were expecting to receive a payment, but did not.If consumers would like to be notified by email when the supplemental claims process starts, they may submit their name, email address, and mobile phone number

Consumers who do not want to receive payment from the settlement fund and want to bring their own case against Google must submit a request to be excluded
[link removed]
online or in writing by February 19, 2026.

Consumers who want to object to the settlement can file a written objection by February 19, 2026.


The court will hold a hearing on April 30, 2026, to consider whether to approve the settlement.


The agreement also requires Google to reform its business practices in the following ways:
- Give all developers the ability to allow users to pay through in-app billing systems other than Google Play Billing for at least five years.
- Allow developers to offer cheaper prices for their apps and in-app products for consumers who use alternative, non-Google billing systems for at least five years.
- Permit developers to steer consumers toward alternative, non-Google billing systems by advertising cheaper prices within their apps themselves for at least five years.
- Not enter contracts that require the Play Store to be the exclusive, pre-loaded app store on a device or home screen for at least five years.
- Allow the installation of third-party apps on Android phones from outside the Google Play Store for at least seven years.
- Revise and reduce the warnings that appear on an Android device if a user attempts to download a third-party app from outside the Google Play Store for at least 5 years.
- Maintain Android system support for third-party app stores, including allowing automatic updates, for four years.
- Not require developers to launch their app catalogs on the Play Store at the same time as they launch on other app stores for at least four years.
- Submit compliance reports to an independent monitor who will ensure that Google is not continuing its anticompetitive conduct for at least 5 years.
For much of this case, the attorneys general litigated alongside Epic Games and Match, two major app developers. Match announced a separate settlement in 2023 while Epic Games took its case to trial. A jury unanimously found that Google’s anticompetitive conduct violated federal antitrust laws.


Attorneys general from all 50 states participated in this lawsuit — along with attorneys general from the District of Columbia and the territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Attorney General Todd Rokita and team once again beat the hell out of Satanic Temple's efforts to undermine Indiana's common sense pro-life law

A bigger whooping than when the devil went down to Georgia

Attorney General Todd Rokita and his legal team celebrated a major victory for life after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit unanimously affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by the Satanic Temple challenging Indiana’s landmark 2022 pro-life law.

The federal appeals court ruled that the Satanic Temple lacked standing to bring its claims, meaning it failed to show any real injury to itself or its members from Indiana's prohibitions on telehealth abortions and related criminal penalties. This decision upholds the lower court's ruling and reinforces Indiana's strong protections for unborn life.



“This lawsuit was ridiculous from the start, but this unanimous court decision is a critical victory because it continues to uphold our pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally rock-solid,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “Our state has proudly built a strong culture of life, and no satanic cult—or any extremist group—is going to stop us.”



The case stemmed from the Satanic Temple's attempt to operate a telehealth abortion clinic in Indiana, claiming its "Satanic Abortion Ritual" entitled it to exemptions under the U.S. Constitution and Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Seventh Circuit rejected the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, declining to reach the merits.



Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade in the 2022 Dobbs case, Indiana was the first state in the nation to enact a sweeping pro-life law.


Attorney General Rokita thanked his team for their work on this case, mentioning in particular the strong efforts of Solicitor General James Barta and former Deputy Solicitor General Jenna Lorence—who, since successfully arguing this appeal, was appointed Alaska’s Solicitor General.



"We're proud to have secured another win that keeps Indiana's pro-life law firmly in place," Solicitor General James Barta said. "This unanimous ruling is a major step forward for protecting unborn life, and we're grateful to stand with Hoosier families in defending these essential safeguards."


Attorney General Rokita has consistently defended Indiana's commonsense pro-life laws against multiple challenges, securing victories that protect women and unborn children across the state.

Governor Mike Braun and Attorney General Todd Rokita Ask Federal Court to Lift 20-Year Ban on Historical Monument at Indiana Statehouse

Attorney General Todd Rokita and Governor Mike Braun announced that Indiana has filed a motion in federal court asking to remove a more than 20-year-old injunction that blocks the placement of a donated historical monument on the Indiana Statehouse grounds.

The motion, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana in Indianapolis, seeks relief under a federal rule that allows courts to lift old orders when the law has significantly changed.

The monument—a gift from the Indiana Limestone Institute—displays the Ten Commandments on one large side, the Bill of Rights on the opposite side, and the Preamble to the Indiana Constitution on the smaller sides. A similar monument stood peacefully on the Statehouse lawn for over 30 years until it was vandalized in 1991.

“The Statehouse grounds feature many monuments and markers celebrating Indiana’s and America’s heritage,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “This monument belongs among them as a reminder of core principles that have guided our nation. After all these years, it’s time to place this historical recognition where Hoosiers and visitors can appreciate its significance in our common story.”

The original injunction was based on a Supreme Court test from 1971 that has since been abrogated. Recent high-court decisions, including one upholding a Ten Commandments display at the Texas Capitol, now evaluate such monuments based on America’s long-standing history and traditions rather than the old standard.

“This monument reflects foundational texts that have shaped our Nation’s laws, liberties, and civic life for generations,” Governor Mike Braun said. “Given the clear shift in constitutional law and the long history of similar displays across the country, we ask the court to lift this outdated injunction. Restoring this historical monument is about honoring our heritage and who we are as Hoosiers.

The monument remains in Bedford, Indiana, and would be placed near its original intended location if the court grants the motion.

Attorney General Todd Rokita attends Trump administration announcement of bold actions to stop sex-rejecting procedures on minors

New HHS rules echo Hoosier common sense

U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently announced bold federal actions to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation done in the name of “gender transition.” Attorney General Todd Rokita was one of two state attorneys general attending the announcement in the nation’s capital.

“We must protect our kids and put an end to these irreversible and harmful experimental procedures that often lead to lifelong regret,” Attorney General Rokita said afterward. “We are blessed to have an administration in the White House fully committed to the same kind of commonsense values that prevail among everyday Hoosiers in Indiana.”

Secretary Kennedy signed a declaration stating that sex-rejecting treatments on children do not meet professionally recognized standards of health care.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), announced Thursday that his agency would release a notice of proposed rulemaking to prohibit hospitals from performing sex-rejecting procedures on children under age 18 as a condition of participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Under another proposed CMS rule, Medicaid would no longer fund sex-rejecting procedures for minors.

These actions, among others, came a day after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, which would criminalize the act of performing sex-rejecting on minors.

In Indiana, Attorney General Rokita has prioritized protecting children from these cruel and dangerous procedures.

In federal court, Attorney General Rokita has strenuously and successfully defended an Indiana law enacted in 2023 that prohibits medical practitioners from providing gender transition procedures to minors, including surgeries, hormone treatments and puberty blockers.

In 2024, Attorney General Rokita co-led a successful 22-state amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the State of Tennessee’s authority to enforce a law that — similar to Indiana’s — prohibits medical interventions before age 18 intended to alter boys’ or girls’ appearance and physiology so that they resemble members of the opposite sex.

Also in 2024, Attorney General Rokita and 14 other states successfully sued the Biden administration over a rule transforming a federal prohibition on sex discrimination into one on gender identity discrimination. The rule could have forced medical providers to perform surgeries and administer hormones to both children and adults for the purpose of gender transition.

Protecting children from porn: Attorney General Todd Rokita files lawsuit against websites allegedly violating age verification law

Attorney General Todd Rokita is suing the operators of approximately 50 pornographic websites, alleging they have violated Indiana’s age-verification law and chosen instead to deliberately expose children to their obscene and sexually explicit images and videos.


The content made available to children by the defendants — all of whom are associated with a multinational pornographic conglomerate known as Aylo — includes sexual violence, choking, rape fantasies, sex slavery and sex with teen girls.


“We know for a fact, from years of research, that adolescent exposure to pornography carries severe physical and psychological harms,” Attorney General Rokita said. “It makes boys more likely to perpetrate sexual violence and girls more likely to be sexually victimized. Yet, despite such realities, these defendants seem intent on peddling their pornographic perversions to Hoosier kids.”


In addition to Indiana’s age-verification law, the lawsuit also alleges the defendants violated the state’s Deceptive Consumer Sales Act in several ways: 1) by making false and misleading statements regarding the accessibility of the pornographic websites by Indiana residents and 2) by misleading consumers about their alleged hosting of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and Nonconsensual Material (NCM).

Attorney General Todd Rokita’s Litigation Division has achieved favorable outcomes for Hoosier taxpayers in 100% of jury trials in 2025

The Office of the Attorney General’s Litigation Division has achieved favorable outcomes for the State of Indiana in all 13 jury trials it has defended in 2025 — saving taxpayers more than $1 million in those trials. Overall, the division has achieved more than $36 million in taxpayer savings through successful advocacy, motion practice and trials during 2025.

“This team’s impressive achievements in court are a testament to the quality of our public servants in two different ways,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “First, the legal complaints brought against state employees are often retaliatory or meritless but no less damaging. Second, the talent of this office’s litigators means they prevail in their pursuit of justice.”

Attorney General Rokita thanked Chief Counsel of Litigation Patricia Orloff Erdmann for her strong and effective leadership. For her part, Erdmann credited the individuals whose work she oversees.

“These achievements exemplify the unwavering dedication and passionate advocacy of the Office of Attorney General Todd Rokita’s litigation team and partners,” Erdmann said. “These are resolute defenders of the state and its citizens’ vital legal interests, always prepared to fend off legal challenges and fiercely safeguard the taxpayers.”

Attorney General Rokita also recognized the office’s partners in this effort, Lewis & Wilkins and Eichhorn & Eichhorn, who, together with the office’s litigation attorneys, produced these results.

In 11 of the 13 jury trials, the litigation team defended the Indiana Department of Correction. In the other two cases, they defended the Indiana Office of Technology and the Indiana Department of Transportation.

Attorney General Todd Rokita and Secretary of State Diego Morales secure landmark settlement to safeguard voter rolls, identify illegal votes

Federal records confirm at least 165 non-citizens registered to vote in Indiana — 21 cast ballots

In a major victory for election integrity — made possible by the cooperation of President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice — Attorney General Todd Rokita and Secretary of State Diego Morales recently announced the settlement of a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that forces the federal government to modernize citizenship verification tools and help prevent non-citizens from voting in elections nationwide.



The agreement, filed last Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, resolves lawsuits brought by Indiana, Florida, Ohio, and Iowa to compel DHS to fulfill its statutory obligation to confirm the citizenship and immigration status of individuals in response to requests by state and local governments. Because of Indiana’s leadership and persistence in bringing this lawsuit, the settlement now guarantees every state and territory in America — not just the four plaintiffs — will have access to these modernized federal verification tools for the next 20 years.


Preliminary results from the new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) verification process enshrined in the settlement confirm that at least 165 identified non-citizens have registered to vote in Indiana. Its verification data also helped confirm that at least 21 noncitizens have cast ballots in recent elections.


“From day one, many individuals dismissed our work as a ‘witch hunt’—but the facts speak for themselves: non-citizen voting is real here in our state, and even one illegal ballot undermines the trust we are told to have in our election processes and even the Republic itself,” said Attorney General Rokita. “This settlement delivers the federal access we’re entitled to under law, allowing the Secretary of State to swiftly remove ineligible voters from the rolls and fortify our system against future risks. Indiana’s elections will be more transparent, fairer and more secure as a result.”


The settlement follows Attorney General Rokita and Secretary Morales' October 2024 request to USCIS for citizenship verification of over 585,000 Indiana voters who registered to vote without using a state-issued photo identification. After the Biden Administration failed to respond to the request, Attorney General Rokita and Secretary Morales filed suit.


“As a naturalized citizen, I deeply understand the privilege and responsibility that comes with the right to vote,” said Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales. “This landmark settlement provides Indiana with long-overdue tools to protect the integrity of our elections. Hoosiers deserve absolute confidence that every lawful vote counts and that our voter rolls are accurate and secure. I am grateful for President Trump’s leadership and his administration’s commitment to upholding election integrity.”



Under the settlement, DHS has committed to making and preserving critical upgrades to its verification system—known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program— including:



- Free verification services for all state and local governments;

- Integration with the Social Security Administration to allow for verification using full Social Security Numbers (SSNs) or the last four digits of SSNs as identifiers;

- Bulk upload capabilities to process verifications efficiently, eliminating the need for one-by-one manual entries; and

- Enhanced data outputs, including data identifying supporting documentation that confirms verification results.



These improvements will enable faster, more reliable verification and the settlement ensure USCIS will grant states and localities full use of the improved verification system.



As part of the agreement, Indiana will enter into a new Information Sharing Agreement (ISA) and updated Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with DHS within 90 days to streamline data exchange.

The new verification process will also help improve voter list maintenance, including by identifying voter registrations linked to deceased individuals. Preliminary data indicates 6,528 voter registrations linked to deceased individuals. That information will be shared with county election officials for cancellation if obituaries can be found based on Indiana Code. Analysis of the verification data provided by USCIS is ongoing.
