Did you read that the FTC is suing CVS, Cigna and United Health?

I LOVE this! The bastards got caught and are going to pay – unfortunately probably not to the diabetics they’ve been ripping off. The FTC found that lower-cost versions of insulin weren’t covered by group plans, and drug benefit managers are accused of illegally inflating prices. Shame!

Frederick Banting invented insulin ~100 year’s ago. His intention was for it to be free. I didn’t know that it was being sold for profit.

Thanks for sharing.

@Hawaii_Jake Ok. Banting was a Canadian. Maybe insulin is free here. I don’t need yet, but I hope would be free if it need it.
Alberta Is trying to provide $1,200 insulin pumps for free to its citizens.
