-Do you have any idea how large the vials are?
My curiosity got the better of me, so I rang up my mother who's had type 1 since childhood.
She said 5x3ml vials of Lispro (or just about any brand) was approx. $40 in the pharmacy.
Once she's spent more than $275-ish in a calendar year, the insulin is free (well, tax funded) until December 31st.
This is in Norway, where the state presumably negotiates good deals with big pharma as they are basically a single customer buying goods for however many of a population of 5.5M need insulin (injected, that is)
