I am an insulin user; my insurance has made the price rise bearable by covering most of the cost but prescriptions are definitely going askew. My main pain relief pill - not a narcotic - I bought 20 years ago #60 for $5. In the last few years it went to #20 for $60. Trump did something because briefly the cost dropped back low. Now it is high again, I think around $100 for maybe 20 tablets, not really sure yet. The med I am speaking of was invented approximately 100 years ago and is specifically designed to deal with the pain of my type of injury.

I can identify with that woman's despair. I was hoping my insulin was not being made in China because it is a rather perishable product. Looks like it is now made there. The Chinese have captured the main part of our pharmaceutical manufacturing; they have us by the short hairs.

The insulin Lantus, priced similarly to that woman's Novolog, lost its proprietary status about two years ago. Still there is no move to produce a generic. It seems obvious why: generics lower the price of brand name drugs - they compete! If the Chinese are making our expensive drugs they are not going to set up any competition. That is the dilemma that woman, and all of us, are facing.

I’m guessing Soma?

If you're a prepper at all, you might be interested in this. I've read this insulin can be kept in a dark container in the back of your fridge for 2 years.

I seem to recall a Canadian Couple that were found dead who had been involved in producing generic/cheaper Rx.

Never did find out what happened to them.
