But the larger point is there is no reason for a significant differential between Canada and the US at all.
I do not work for Sanofi or receive any money from them. But if your stuff isn’t covered, and you’re privately insured, $100/m beats anything else you’ll find. Their products are at least as good as any competitor as far as I’m concerned.
If you’re on Medicaid, something is covered, and the formulary in LA is readily available online.
What really blows is coverage for Medicare patients without secondary coverage or an rx plan. They get more or less screwed. There are still decent prices on plenty of passable insulin (and essentially any other class of medicine you could need), but it may not be the one that you’re used to using.
Even still, I’ve got some good friends practicing in Canada and a handful that came here and never went back. I’d much rather receive treatment here than there. And I’d much rather be a physician here than there, for what its worth.

The majority of people that have lived under both systems for any extended period of time and have used them come to the same conclusion. I have 22 year in each give or take - as much as I high have frustration here - easy call - here every time.
Not a fan of my 1700 a month premium but that is another story for another time
