Not true. You can buy generic insulin in the US for a reasonable price, it's the new stuff that lasts longer that is expensive.

I looked it up and a fifty percent savings is pretty good, but that is still a pretty high price for something that has to be taken forever and is twice as expensive as non generic in every other country. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-appr...
I believe Walmart is the only place that does this, and there is some state this is not true in (thinking Indiana, but I'd have to look it up).
