Sugar company should pay the some of the cost of thi drug since they ensure that their product flooded the market and all products we eat contain sugar they can afford to take care of the ppl their killing like tobacco with cancer

Are there that many diabetics that supply is short, or is the illegal population getting it free what is raising the cost. We all know nothing is free, taxpayers pay the rising cost. Trump just worked on lowering seniors meds 30%. If Democrats take 80-90% of your paycheck 2020 :)

Walmart is literally the only place here in Alabama where we can afford to buy my wife's insulin.

How aboit epipen?

You can't treat medicine like any consumer product, because usually there's not much choice on the market and medicine is not optional. 'You poor, you die' is not an acceptable motto.

That's why we have the second largest economy in the world.

Colorado is the first state to cap skyrocketing insulin co-paysColorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law that places a $100 per month cap on insulin co-pays, regardless of how much insulin a patient uses. Insurance companies will pay anything more than the $100 co-pay, according to the new law. This is a dumb law which will cause rationing. Did you know there is no such thing as generic insulin in the United States? Why are lawmakers allowing no competition for insulin? By allowing competition for insulin will reduce the price of it better than a cap! This is an issue everywhere...especially in my place...but hoping for the best I’m packing my bags and moving to Colorado

The price of insulin is surging. This state is the first to make insurance companies eat the cost.The Colorado law will cap monthly co-payments at $100, but doesn't change how much insulin manufacturers can charge. The cost of meds in this country is a total scam. Shenanigans between insurance industry and Big Pharma must stop. The news :The price of insuling is surging.... Rest of the world :only in america. The price of insulin is scandalous. My father, sister, and aunt were all Type1 diabetics; my sister especially had difficulty paying for her drugs, test stips, needles, and proper food. The GREED is killing people.
