*State government also looking to create its own Naloxone
Californians will be able to get a 10ml vial of insulin for as little as $30 through the CalRx program, after it was announced that the initiative to make medications more affordable in California has won a contract with the pharmaceutical company CIVICA, a company that produces genetic medicines.
During a tour last weekend, Governor $123.9 billion education package I highlighted over the weekend that, in addition, a pack of 5 pens of 3 ml of insulin will not exceed 55 dollars, including the cost of distribution and dispensing in pharmacies.
The official said the prices would be the same as for CalRx brand insulin, which are a fraction of the cash prices paid for a 10 ml vial - $300 - or the $500 for a pack of 5 pens that people typically pay today.
