If the law simply prevents prices higher than $100 in Illinois then manufacturers and distributors might stop selling in the state or only take orders from the state if they have surplus. Either of which might hit availability in the state, especially if the industry tries to make an example out of this.

I guess it also depends on the profit margin at that price and how it compares with the "market price".

Edit: Care to explain the downvotes? I'm just putting forward what could happen in the real word, not voicing my opinion of what is right.

Let them choose to not sell dirt-cheap-to-produce insulin in a state because "It's not economically viable".

I would love to see those marketing execs strung out in the court of public opinion for denying life saving medication because "omg our margins!"

That might just be enough to start lighting the fires that need to burn.

Maybe we would all be better off in the long term if they did. Probably wouldn't work out great for them, however.

The downvotes are because the opinion you have is not popular, not because it is wrong. You may be right, you may be wrong, that is less important these days.

I don't have an opinion, that's the point.
