Citizens in the commonwealth are going to learn an expensive lesson on interfering with the free market. The diabetics dying without insulin that blamed the evil corporations will find out what getting slapped by the invisible hand feels like.

Why $50?

Why not $25? $10? Free?

Or are the Dems doing this to show how noble and heroic they are while letting big-pharma off the hook for insulin assistance plans by saying - hey we’re charging the legal limit.

It’s sad. Together we can find a way for everyone to get their insulin. What works against that idea is that those that can pay would be in line with the others and too many of the others don’t take care of themselves. Who is going to take the time to interview and not just rubber stamp those who are not in the need?

They’ll be the first ones to kill off their diabetic population when shortages hit.

Immediately put a price cap on salaries of Virginia legislators. The cuts can be arbitrary, but make them substantial.

Most companies will send you a coupon that results in you paying $5 to $15 if you have commercial insurance and aren’t using Medicaid, Medicare or other government programs. Watch that disappear in Virginia.

I wonder if these idiots have calculated the price at which there will be no profit and the production of insulin will stop altogether? What happens then?
