> The idea that someone without means should have to pay Walmart $86 for a worse low-budget insulin is disgusting. Its not worse, its significantly better. The version of insulin sold for $1 is human insulin, which has been available at Walmart for $25 for many years. The version being discussed here is human analogue insulin, which was invented by the pharma companies in the past few decades. Its significantly better tolerated, and the rates at which the body can uptake the insulin can be tweaked to be much faster or long-lasting. Its like comparing a Tesla to a Ford Model T.
