Why doesn't the AARP seem to care about volatile insulin prices?

The AARP was taken over by the left about 20 years ago.

How is Insulin not a generic?

At Walmarts in Ohio it is.

I can buy Novolin R over the counter for $25.00 per vial. And do. That price hasn't changed in the three or four years since I started buying it to supplement what my Medicare plan provider supplies according to my doctor's prescription. (They won't give me enough to let me build up a reserve for emergencies.)

Novolin R is slightly slower acting than the prescription Novolog, but I don't have much trouble adjusting my dosage to it. (I don't guess and pray. I do blood tests as often as eight times a day to maintain control.)

Walmart's pricing tells me that this "volatility" reporting is BS. Or Walmart is subsidizing it heavily. Either way, Walmart is doing us diabetic seniors on fixed incomes a life-saving service.

This!.. I dumped them many years ago. I got tired of their magazine with nothing but leftist drivel.

The AARP is run by commies.
They don’t care about prices and people. They only care about the power they wield.

"How is Insulin not a generic?"

To add to Rollo's post. There is no one size fits all for different people. My son was diagnosed as a type I diabetic at age fourteen. By the time he graduated from high school he had tried three different types of insulin. They started with the cheapest and moved up. I have no idea what type he is on now. He was telling me the one he is now using requires about 80% of what his last one required and it keeps his blood sugar level much more even.

Well, they didn’t give a rat’s ass about Obamycare insurance being shoved down out throats a few years ago . . . remember how they got their staffs exempt from it because they knew it was a disaster. I hate anything to do with AARP.

On 11 January 1922 insulin was first used in the treatment of diabetes. So why is it still expensive!!!!

For the same reason they didn’t care about what Obamacare rates did to the insurance industry. Democraps never do wrong.

The AARP is a scam. They bugged me for years to join, then once I hit 55, they disappeared. My wife was a member one year, realized what a joke it is, and never renewed her membership. I get my Lantus Solostar insulin pens for $159 for a three month supply. It’s the Trulicity weekly pens that’ll rob you - only 30 days at the same price.
