You can move to Canada

Insulin is FREE for all Types of Diabetic Insulin Users - it's covered under our National Pharmacare Program

But I guess the price is dealing with the freezing cold weather about 1/3 of the year followed by black flies and mosquito's for the next 1/3 😁

2. Local Health Departments: They Show Full Answer

Here in BC my insulin is only free after I have reached my Fair Pharmacare deductible..Same for my Dexcom and bp and statin meds. Works out to a little over 6 months free.

As I'm from Ontario Canada I not eligible for meds yet as I'm not 65. When I was working my work benefits paid. I retired early and have a private health plan that cost a monthly premium. They cover my meds. At age 65 I'll look again at my options. Think what you need to do is research what is available in your State as well as Federal. Make sure your FederalGovernment isnt looking at stopping coverages in the next year.

I could move to Canada if I wanted to. I would get dual citizenship along with health care paid for by taxes.
