California is contracting its own insulin supply and it’ll be available for $11 a pen starting Jan 1, 2026. I know not every state can or are willing to do this but just throwing out some examples and hopefully optimism to somehow fight the American decline from within it. We’re in a unique position as our state economy is larger than most countries but I am hopeful we will throw our weight around to counter the bs. https://www.chhs.ca.gov/blog/2025/10/17/governor-newsom-announces-affordable-calrx-insulin-11-a-pen-will-soon-be-available-for-purchase/
Seems like something other states should get in on. Now that the program is established seems like it would not be as hard to pay into it and get a share of the product.

this kind of thing scales well, i see no reason why after california has it set up, other states couldn’t get insulin from them, or chip in
I would think Big Pharma will aggressively fight against it.

But that’s socialism! /s
