Here are the budget details on this... https://esd.dof.ca.gov/Documents/bcp/2223/FY2223_ORG4140_BCP5779.pdf https://esd.dof.ca.gov/Documents/bcp/2223/FY2223_ORG4140_BCP... "This proposal will use $50 million in funding to enter into a partnership with a contract manufacturer to develop and bring to market interchangeable biosimilar insulin products in both vial and pen form." "This proposal also includes an additional $50 million for the construction of an insulin manufacturing facility based in California. CalHHS will partner with the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), leveraging its expertise in business investment services such as site review, permit assistance, and other related activities. CalHHS will lean on GO-Biz’s expertise to mitigate risk and properly execute the proposed manufacturing facility, if CalRx proceeds with this component of the project."

Only $50 million for something that seems so socially important? Sounds like an easy win to me.

  Especially for a state with such massive budget surplus.

  I think a more relevant take is "how are they going to accomplish this with only $50 million? California can't even build high speed rail with a budget in 10s of billions of dollars and more than a decade of time.

    This is just building one plant in one nebourhood. High speed rail involve lots more private land use and local regulations.

    And what exactly is the proper amount of time and money for California high speed rail? I doubt you can give an answer that isn't practically bullshit.

      The proper amount of money would be $40B, as per the original promises by project proponents.

    Spoken like someone who is either a parroting shill or actually doesn’t understand the first thing about comparing two projects.

Why on earth would you build a plant in California instead of buying API from India?
- mathgeek 4y ago
  A big component is likely the international supply chain issues that became apparent in 2020/21.
