In case you weren’t aware, California is spending $100 million to manufacture insulin.

Hopefully this will start to make a huge difference – with either California expanding production and selling to other states, or with other states copying the same model.

I think it’s kind of like community fiber Internet – it’d be nice if it wasn’t necessary, but since it is, I’m glad people are doing what is within their power.
