Thanks for pointing that out. GoodRx is not available from EU (Either due to GDPR or due to not being applicable to non-US readers, I guess). That invalidates my numbers a bit.

However, it´s also pointing to another facet of this issue: the opaqueness of the pricing. In here, price of medication (including insulin) is regulated and it´s the same everywhere, for everyone and no seller-specific discount can be applied.




Yeah, they make money by working the convoluted US system.

It isn't good that the prices vary, but it's been long enough that people with substantial drug costs should be doing some basic checks, discussing the highest quoted US prices doesn't reflect what people are paying.
