[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1439159, member: 211504"] Again...NO...it doesn't. To say that they make too much money to qualify for Medicaid/government assistance but can't afford $40/month for insulin is ridiculous. You're describing a situation that is so incredibly rare in the states it's not even worth a discussion. Even if someone was in the situation you described all they would have to do is contact their local JDRF office and ask for assistance. People like me are more than willing to donate excess supplies. I've contacted my local office on multiple occasions BEGGING them to take the 5+ unopened boxes of Levemir I have in my refrigerator (that's 20+ flexpens btw). There are occasionally people who need it, but it's not as if there's a line outside the door of people dying to get insulin. [/QUOTE]
