Sadly, I can't spare you $400 for insulin
Unmute at own risk!
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes!
I don't actually need Insulin. That was a joke (bc kitten = sweet). ;)
And while I actually have type 2 diabetes, it is well under control without Insulin. Thanks for asking.
But since I live in Germany, Insulin would be free of charge if I needed it like my mother once did.

I could, but express postage would drive that price right up

I'm sorry for your cost of insulin :( America is fucked.

True. Yet I don’t get why would immigrants from all over the world would want to come here. I’d move to Mexico or Europe, or Japan or Korea
Fedotia
Nope, already full with the Syrian refugees. We'll build a wall over the Atlantic to stop ya'll from pouring in. Obviously you're paying.

What about government subsidised insulin from Australia? Any subsidised type, $41.30 per script max.

Insulin prices are outrageous in the U.S,though thankfully,not as outrageous as $400 a shot.Even millionaires would have trouble paying that

Try $13,000 per vial for specialized insulin like the Humilin R U-500
CheeseGreaterGood
As a type 1, what the hell is so special about that one?!
ATerribleArtist
It's when your body is super shitty and resists/builds tolerance to "normal" insulin amounts. Like... If 200 units isn't enough. The fucked/

ATerribleArtist
Up part is people that need ru500 are the ones that are already multiple insulins (ie that pod on the leg + shots). Either way they go broke
BrockEffingSamson
$450 for insulin, you say?
alluro2
Yeah, $470, as I said
Omegatherion
How does one afford $500 for that?
