I also use a type of insulin, comes in pen form, how much does it cost to manufacture? Where did the money come from for the development?And why has the price on some of this stuff hardly ever go down.My supplemental insurance went up over 50 bucks a month after I was diaagnosed with cancer, that wasn't the HCA that was AETNA insurance.I'm not bitc----. about the cost that much, because before tjhe HCA I might have been dropped.Folks talk about the two tier medical coverage under most universal health plans, yes it's there.So if you are well off, why not go for the best treatment, you'll pay for it.
