Do you not agree with his reasoning? It seems like California will be producing their own insulin, as capping copay prices just makes health insurances gouge patients in other ways or something like that.

I agree that it’s just going to be a way for everyone to get higher premiums - but it would also be a way for diabetics to get life saving medication without needing to skip the groceries. That’s a pretty urgent problem. Premiums will go up one way or another.
