simple answer:

the kooks who run AARP are Demon Rats. They will THRIVE on Demon Rat success, and don’t care about sick old people.

AARP has been pretty irrelevant since the honcho that ran it during the Obamacare fiasco:”AARP and AARP Foundation Submit Amicus Brief in Support of ACA and the Security It Provides Older Americans”

The two Canadian chemists that developed insulation have it to the pharmatidal companies with the understanding it would be provided to diabetics free of cost.
Under Trumps prescription plan cost was coming down but that changed thanks to a dumb as president.

Because AARP is just another huge insurance company. They have bee part of the leftist corporate fascist movement before many other corporations.

Rigged markets suck. Always did always will. Trump was right we need pricing transparency. Very few restaurants give you a menu without prices on them.

Why are dental implants and nose jobs and other elective surgery prices declining, while routine medical care and insurance premiums and deductibles are climbing? Because the former is a free market, the latter is a closed, rigged market.

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

Because diabetics are a captive audience. They need the insulin. They’re going to pay for it, regardless of how much it costs.

President Trump was so horrible, right? He’s the only willing to challenge the status quo and actually help the people of this country. But no more mean tweets.

They know that you’ll pay for it, even if that means eating cat food to survive.

Don’t forget. On Thursday after Joe’s inauguration, he immediately rescinded Trump’s deal with pharmaceuticals which had lowered insulin prices significantly, thus driving the prices back up to pre-Trump.

I read a while back that, for years the patents on drugs would run out and then a generic could be made and there was nothing the drug companies could do about it.

Then, they discovered some type of “licensing loophole” that basically allowed them to enforce the patent for years, before anyone could make and market the generic.

And then there’s always the heavy hand of Soetero’s government not approving labs to make the generics.

Oklahoma Doctors vs. Obamacare ...... these guys have a pretty good take on how screwed up things are .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uPdkhMVdMQ&t=88s

“Very few restaurants give you a menu without prices on them.”

If no prices on the menu troubles you then you can’t afford it! First law of dining in Paris.😎

AARP are denizens of the Swamp - they pushed for the adoption of 0bamacare, even though they knew it would harm all its constituents in the end.

Complex question.

A lot of the delivery methods for insulin are still under patents. Also insulin has been declared a biologic drug by the almighty FDA so with that, has a ton of regulations associated with the manufacturing process.

Generic forms of insulin is easier said than done since the cost to get a form of insulin to the market could exceed maybe quarter billion or half-a-billion (With this current grifting Executive Branch).

This is the same AARP that thought raiding Medicare to pay for Obamacare was just fine and dandy.

Nuff said.
