    Why can’t Americans mail order it from Canada? Is the US going to tax the crap out of it when it crosses the border?

      I believe there are some restrictions on mailing insulin across the border due to regulations and customs laws. However, there might be ways around it if you’re willing to do a little research and possibly pay extra fees.

      Yes they will absolutely fuck you on it IF they even allow it at all.

      You know, in the spirit of “free markets” and all that bull shit.

      people have been crossing to canada for cheap insulin drugs, the same one made by the trioply insulin companies via driving. other healthcare options, like dental work or medical procedures, they will be seeking places like thailand, mexico, india(the cities that cater to medical tourism)
