“You have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it…”.
It rings eerily true at this point

I’m not saying the ACA isn’t full of nasties. It is. I’m saying it doesn’t have a monopoly.

No need. Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro is a class action law firm and they clean up on these things through contingency fees, as well as court awarded attorney fees in many instances. Looks like they were the lawyers for the suit against VW relating to the emissions fixing scandal. It just settled for $1.6 billion. You can imagine how much they’re making on that, so I think they’re fine fronting the costs on the insulin suit.

Those emissions easily led to higher Blood sugars amongst other things.
I’m glad to hear it’s a big dog on our side of the fight… is there any better way to follow along the proceedings than watching the newspapers? Care to be nominated as our ringside announcer?
What types of big-picture judgements are possible in a suit like this? How could this change the grand scheme conceivably?
Luckily, I’m off the hook because the law firm has made it easy for all of us to sign up for ongoing updates. It’s probably the easiest way to get accurate information about the proceedings.
EDIT it looks like it’s the official signup to join the class action, so read any fine print they throw at you before you sign up.

Not from legal doc’s but press: “Novo Nordisk said it did not expect the lawsuit to cause financial harm to the company.”

That’s like saying “I like to beat my head against the wall because it feels so good when I stop”.
Considering that most insurance plans take their lead from Medicare and that Medicare is prohibited by law from negotiating lower prices, the real value of this strikes me as . . . limited. Very, very limited.
