It was a $35 cap on insulin, pretty simple. Any one in your fam use insulin? Me too.

So what happens if and when it costs more than that to produce it? Then what? Company says we are out because we are not going to do it. Or they say, we are losing money on this, so we will produce just so much at a loss. I would hope it would be cheap and people get what they need at a reasonable cost, however price cap is not it.

You should stop defending the 3 companies in the US that make insulin and then rape Americans on the cost. Your explanation isnt even slightly rational nor the issue. Seriously do yourself a favor. Google insulin prices by country. Explain why a drug that was discovered 100 years ago is so expensive i the US and only pennies i other industrial countries.

You tell me. Many times the people in Europe are taking advantage that US companies absorbed the development and then get to use it without having to cover that cost. What is our regulatory and record keeping requirements for drugs vs them? If that all was true, then the free market would win out. Hundreds of companies would be trying to manufacture it and get a share of the market. Look at the history of price controls. You wont like the answer to it. Never a good idea.

Hillarious article about Kalifornia getting into the manufacturing game. Not sure if it is legal for the state to compete in private industry, but if it is go for it. He has been in office 3 years and the articles says they are a few more years away from doing it. Huh. So this process is more than likely take 6 plus years to even get up and running for a drug that you claim has been around for 100 years. The technology is out there to make it. The formula is certainly known. Why is it taking so long for something that is SO mature from a knowledge and manufacturing standpoint? That sounds like it would be just turn key and go. Do you mean to tell me that their are obstacles to getting this going? You know. The type that costs money to over come that companies need to pay and then recoup extra so they can develop other products? Your understanding of the world is that of a child.
