It really is a shame. Don't blame the doctors and pharmacists. It's the manufacturers that set these obscene prices.

Insulin cost insurers $25 fifteen years ago and now it's at least $200-$450 a month per patient.

There is a cure for Hep C that would bankrupt the healthcare system if everyone could get it.

NPH and Regular as well as 70/30 are available over the counter at Wal Mart for $25/1000 units.

Also, Sanofi's 100u/mL insulin glargine (lantus) has a direct competitor (Basaglar) and is now wholesaling to some certain nationally-designated pharmacies for very cheap. I have no idea if/when the price will drop for cash pay at normal pharmacies, but if you're indigent or near it, you can get it for next to nothing now.

A step in the right direction? I hope so...
