Agreed. At least it hasn’t surfaced as a problem yet, and the groups concerned about it are monitoring to make sure it doesn’t become one (from the article):
Dr. Seema Nagpal, vice-president of science and policy with Diabetes Canada, said her organization is paying attention to the cross-border traffic and potential insulin shortfalls.
“We try to keep our ear to the ground and hear as early as we can if that is becoming a problem, but we just haven’t heard that yet.”
I do object to the characterization of the situation as some kind of emergency. I also object to the fantastical attitude that somehow the people who are making the trip to Canada to be able to afford their insulin should have magically forced the US government or Big Pharma to fix the problem. That’s victim blaming of a particularly lazy kind. American diabetes groups regularly protest in DC and at major pharma companies to fight for better access and lower prices for insulin.
I know you’re not doing that, but there are others in this thread who are.
