Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that California will begin selling affordable insulin under its own label on Jan. 1, nearly three years after he first announced a partnership to sell state-branded generic drugs at lower prices.
But California won’t be the only state making lower-cost insulin available. The nonprofit Civica said it will also distribute its economical diabetes medication to pharmacies nationwide. California began partnering with Civica in 2023 for its “CalRx” brand of insulin and put $50 million toward its development, the company said.
Starting in the new year, insulin pens will be available at a recommended price of $11 per pen, or a maximum of $55 for a five-pack, Civica said.
I really want the Democrats to win, and those leftists seem like a significant percentage of voters. So I’ll vote to nominate someone far left who gets their votes in the general, not the moderates who voted for Trump anyways. The primary is in the future so we can still obtain this huge number of leftist votes.
I wish they would just vote Democratic anyways. They’re close enough to my beliefs that I expect their support. But I already know how they will behave as a large group, and can only change my own votes.
That, at least, is a plan of action. And, one of the benefits is you’ll finally cut loose the vast majority of “middle” America that doesn’t live near any people who look or act different from them.
We’ll think of it as a rebuilding cycle in the crush of literal no-shit fascism. I mean, there are worse ideas being bandied about here.
