Minnesota State Representative, Jeremy Munson, posted a video on Facebook showing him going to Walmart to buy the $24.88 Novolin N (NovoNordisk) Intermediate acting insulin. He thinks this is the answer to the debate over what to do about the high costs of insulin. This insulin is most often used for T2 diabetics and pets. It's not the fast acting insulin that we know of as Novolog or Humalog. This information he has stated says the insulin is the same. Here is his post.............. ..............New House Republican Caucus ------ Facebook Page

Rep. Jeremy Munson has some potentially life-saving information to share.
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST if you know someone with diabetes. The cost of traditional, life-saving insulin has remained the same the past 25 years.
✔️$24.88 per vial. No insurance required
✔️No doctor's prescription required
✔️Novo Nordisk-manufactured Novolin
✔️Readily available (90% of people in the US live within 10 miles of a Walmart)
✔️Affordable (vs. the Alec Smith Insulin Act which proposed $25 co-pays for a one-time 90 day supply and taxed others $10.4 million per year)
You may not believe the price stability, given the divisive rhetoric in St Paul, arguing over who is more entrenched with Big Pharma. If you've let government or insurance companies price your prescription drugs the past decade, you may not know that 4,759 Walmart stores across the country sell three different varieties of insulin, all priced at $24.88. It is not the synthetic insulin or dispensed in fancy applicators which have been developed in recent years. But this is the same type of insulin, traditionally administered, that has saved millions of lives over the past century at a fraction of the cost of what is marketed and advertised by Big Pharma.
Please talk to the pharmacist or doctor regarding proper selection and use. End of his post..........Go to the Facebook page to view the video........
Laura here: We need to get this information off of Facebook and get it out to the news and media to spread the word that Walmart insulin is NOT the answer to our insulin crisis in America. People have already died from using this insulin due to low blood sugars. We want the correct insulin our children and family members need to use to be as affordable and accessible as Walmart insulin is. If Walmart insulin was the answer to our problems, we wouldn't be having this discussion and wouldn't be fighting. #insulin4all #painpassionpurpose #thepowerofthepen
