Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that California will begin selling affordable insulin under its own label on Jan. 1, nearly three years after he first announced a partnership to sell state-branded generic drugs at lower prices.
But California won’t be the only state making lower-cost insulin available. The nonprofit Civica said it will also distribute its economical diabetes medication to pharmacies nationwide. California began partnering with Civica in 2023 for its “CalRx” brand of insulin and put $50 million toward its development, the company said.
Starting in the new year, insulin pens will be available at a recommended price of $11 per pen, or a maximum of $55 for a five-pack, Civica said.
Sounds like maybe Newsom better do something to earn some leftist votes or is it going to result in more liberal bitching non-stop that everyone didn’t drop every moral and fall in line behind a transphobe fuck?
I’m sure diabetics would love to hear your opposition. Why should diabetics care about trans if you’re opposing their insulin?
Ah great the splitters have come, now they’re going to try and break apart the left to fight over diabetics vs trans.
Pinkertons are getting with the times it seems
Pretty sure they’re just here for the insulin. Trans being secondary to remaining alive. But you’ve got a good donnybrook brewing here, so - let’s watch!
There we go.
It’ll never change. They’ll never see the value in uniting to defeat republiQans. They won’t even vote! Because . . hangon . . *checks notes* . . Oh! Right. Hilary. duh.
Can’t be this guy, he hates trans people. Can’t be that woman, she loves Jews. Can’t be arsed to put forth our own candidate because . . Uh . . the system is rigged. Progress is a lie. Property is theft.
I think Democratic consultants have destroyed so much for so little, but it’s no wonder they keep shaking the rust belt for votes when they see the numbers.
“How dare the left fight for trans peoples right to live, and also people who dislike Israel are actually antisemitic”
That’s a disgusting sentiment.
If they want us to vote for them, they can put forward a candidate we want.
It’s actually really easy to find people who aren’t disgusting people, I’m sure most users here and most people they’re friends with would fail into such a category as do millions and millions of others. They’re the ones with the money to get voters interested in a candidate and promote them on a national/international level with ease, so why don’t they choose a candidate people actually want?
You prefer another candidate, an electable candidate? Then name the person!
. . . I grow tired of asking this; so it’ll be the last time. Who. Is the left’s preferred candidate for President?
(That’s paraphrasing a movie quote for anyone who didn’t know that.)
Stop this with personal blaming fallacy. The burden of presenting an electable candidate is on the DNC.
They are the ones with the money, time, and resources to do so not the poor overworked exhausted citizens who are lucky to get time off to vote every 4 years.
Oh yeah, sure - I hate the DNC and everything they stand for, I deem their candidates to be transphobic child murdering Zionists but I’m busy with my job so they double suck the end.
Your commitment to excellent governance is nonexistent. Is it any wonder you’re always dissatisfied with no solutions? This is exactly what I expect from “the left” around here. Nothing but self-important screeching and a refusal to stop republiQans. A refusal to stop fascism. As if that was the entire goal.
