Anytime. We seem to get skewered on prices with this disease.

To add to the equation of insulin pricing, in 3rd world countries it costs way less around $20 / bottle! Not sure how is that possible while here they charge crazy amounts for insurances. I wonder if it is just numbers on papers and not the real cost?

You might want to read the recent Time Magazine article on health care costs; very revealing. It explains quite well why we, in the USA, are paying such a premium for a similar level of service as elswhere

Yes Costco is the cheapest for insulin. I was paying almost $100 bottle paying the deductable for Apidra or Humulin insulins at what I thought was the cheapest chain pharmacy CVS, WITH my insurance. I switched insurance plans and started paying $50 for a 30 day prescription of one or two bottles still at CVS. Switched to Costco and my cost dropped to ZERO for two bottles/month with same insurance!
