But Senator, what Insulin is it? Is it superior technology and efficient like Apidra or Novolog and Lantus? Or is it a 50-year old formulation like Humalog and Humalin? Is it for Type II being foisted on Type I diabetics? Americans need GOOD HC, not only AVAILABLE HC!
A few days ago, I took diabetics across the border to Canada to buy insulin.
There, it costs 1/10th the price that it does in the United States.
That tells us a great deal about our health care system today. #DemDebatepic.twitter.com/VSkivPXFmr

An anecdote about bringing med from Canada does not translate to new legislation on Rx med importation. We have an entire system of FDA-approval of meds for US markets to contend with here; there is no alternative to better negotiation.
-
No it doesn’t. The complexity of the issue within our system is far too great to be Sander’s PR moment.

Now Canada is going to want to build a wall. Hope we don't have to pay for that one too.
-
If Americans start crossing the border in droves to get their insulin, I'm sure pharma execs would be very willing to pay for the wall. So maybe partner up.

Insulin was first purified in Canada. It comes from maple syrup. Of course it’s cheaper there, it literally drips out of trees.
-
It’s even cheaper in Australia and we don’t have maple syrup, nice try though

I can't imagine any of the other candidates going to such measures to help their constituents. Bernie is a TRUE LEADER.

In the UK, anyone on long-term medication gets it free. While we still have our NHS.

Hopefully the people won’t let nhs get sold off to American private corporations like BoJo plans.

This is what Johnson and Tory Party wasn’t for this country. Privatised NHS escalating drug costs and more dealers. The Tories don’t care about the poor.
