This just feels like something we should nationalize and tie to a prescription or something so it’s paid for with insurance at least partially, the formula shortage was awful and effected tube fed people as well.

Do you live in the US, and if so, are you insane? You want ANYthing in this world to be modeled after our insurance system?! Holy shit, baby formula would go up 5000% in the first three months.

Yes I do. I also think they need to price cap it. My sons formula for his gtube is $12 a day normally and by his insurance it’s twice that. We literally can’t afford to make enough to get off Medicaid until it’s an insane amount over (like 70-80k) because of insurance for him.
