Wal-Mart sells insulin without a prescription for $26 a vial- more diabetics should know this
Mallory, a federal worker at the @Interior, is rationing her remaining two vials of insulin for her type 1 diabetes — she can’t afford the $300 copay since she’s not getting paid. We need to reopen the government today. Put bills up for a vote.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-worker-forced-ration-insulin-because-government-shutdown-n958066 …

Yup. It’s the old stuff, but it will absolutely keep a T1 alive. It’s a damn shame, though.

I am a type 1 diabetic too and I can send her some vials to help her out. I use Humalog.

How about calling your colleagues back from the beach to sit down with the President and negotiate a mutually acceptable solution to border security and illegal immigration?

We also need insulin to not cost $300+ per vial when it costs about $20 everywhere else.

Or nerve pain medication to cost $7.80 per dose... and that's the generic version. Eardrum antibiotics that cost $1.00 per drop.

aside from the shutdown, this highlights the price gouging of big pharma AND high the price of insulin is outrageous and insurance costs $300 copay for insulin is ridiculous.

I received one insulin shot prior to a recent surgery. The hospital billed Medicare $240. Medicare declined and it was written off. Every citizen deserves to have a powerful insurance plan that protects. Medicare for all!!
