Since when is insulin $35? My prescription a month ago was almost $4k.
It depends on the company youre getting it from, but there is a coming price cap. Eli lily (as of last march), novo nordisk (as of last september), and sanofi (as of jan 1st) have all lowered their prices to the cap for insured, uninsured, and medicare patients. Those are the three largest insulin producers in the US, but not all of them. It's been rolling out slowly over the past year.

I think it's about to become price capped, I recall reading about it recently
That, and are you seriously paying 4000 dollar a month for insulin? Because those are maffia prices
It was a 3 month supply when I was between jobs without insurance. But yeah that was rough.
I keep hearing about price caps but they never come. I'll probably die by then lol
