I was diagnosed with T1D this January. I was dumbfounded when I learned how much insulin would cost. This would be amazing if it passed.

Probably cheaper to move to Canada or Mexico.

It depends on the person's income level and what state they're moving from to what province in Canada (and for Mexico I'm not sure too much about the tax rate but I assume the person would end up earning a lot less for the same job. Maybe it could work if the person works remotely.)

There are state funded insurance plans that pay for your trip to Canada to buy insulin.

A plane ticket and hotel room every night is cheaper than a month’s worth of this medication in some states.
