Would Allowing Patients To Import Insulin From Canada Solve The Crisis Created By Extreme Price Hikes?

There's a new trend of diabetic patients having to ration insulin -- a dangerous and sometimes fatal decision -- because the price has gone up so much in recent years.

Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is thinking along similar lines, just more broadly than insulin.
