I've always been super frustrated that my lifesaving insulin prescription costs upwards of $50 a month (depending on my insurance coverage), as a copay to my insurance, and hundreds of dollars without insurance, but someone wanting a non-essential drug (like viagra), pays $5 for the treatment of something unpleasant, but not life threatening. Do you see this trend ever reversing, so life saving drugs are more affordable?

That's actually one of the better costs for it, but it adds up when it's every month for the rest of forever. And that's just one of the many associated medical costs of having type 1 diabetes. I can't decide to just cut back on insulim to save some money like coffee drinkers can.

Oh, I get it. $50 is one of the better copays, I've had. I recently had to switch insurances, as I was no longer covered by my work insurance. What we could afford through our healthcare exchange has a large deductible we have to meet before coverage kicks in, and we ended up paying about that the first few months as well. It's a terrible system.

Good to know. I just randomly chose viagra, without research as it was the first thing that came to mind.

Humulin at $25 is better than nothing, for sure especially for those without insurance. It's great that they can somehow do that.
