To be fair here and to clear up what this kid doesn't understand:

  1. The pump supplies make up the bulk of the expense, not insulin, and that is a choice. It vastly improves quality of life to have CGM.
  2. Deductible just started fresh, need to meet that. I just shelled out $1035 for pump supplies and will do a few more times before deductible is met. No copay after April.
  3. He's not going to die, but will have to live with alot more inconvenience. Sounds horrible and I'm sympathetic, but sometimes we have to remember that others have it worse and look on the positive side.

Thanks for straightening this out.

I looked into the insulin/epi pen details and these vids don't make sense.

The real scoop seems to be a Trump EO that had not taken effect before Biden delayed. So there was never an actual Trump induced price drop to recover from if I read things right.
