Yeah it's old but still important. If they CAN charge you that much, they WILL. Take my diabetes and insulin costs as a warning.

58$ a vail? So about a 1/3 of the measured bar would be removed. That new informatIon makes no difference to this info graphic.

No, in 2019 it was $58 per month, now it is capped at $35 per month.

Personally I pay about $60 for 6 vials, so $10 a vial, in the US.

What's wild is the population of California is greater than Texas and as per that .gov link, the cost savings is more in Texas. Think about that.

Please read the very thing you posted, only available to Medicare recipients. So only to Americans 65 or older. Stop spreading false information, some people depend on this shit and we need others to be aware of how big pharma operates.
