My pharmacy has canceled my prescription for insulin pens and has a pathetic excuse that flies in the face of stated facts that pharmacy supplies are unaffected and only Dr. samples are recalled. Insulin is not the only drug that is now in dangerously short supply. There are inferior alternatives available for many at this time. |

And the GOP has a bill written just to remove that negotiating power that was passed earlier this year. Biden may need to stomp on the drug makers to get them to play nicely. |

New Zealand. And even FAUX news in the US has noticed: Insulin shortage might be next supply chain crisis (from June this year). |
