I don't want to go down the rabbit hole, but I'm wondering is this ia CA paying the difference on what would be price gouging, or CA actually controlling the process, to erase any opportunity for that price gouging. That latter would likely be permanent, the former would last only as long as the administration isn't seeking budget cuts.
They're partnering with a non-profit 501(c)(3) generic manufacturer that was set up by groups of hospitals.

Seems as legit as you're going to find in the US.
Would they sell out of state? Like deliver meds to another state? Not American, just curious.
I could see both Oregon and Washington wanting to jump on that band wagon.
That is my question. In any case, could someone setup a PO Box in California, tack a couple of dollars on and ship out of state? I really want to know how this works.
So they are just now launching the product it seems. Blue Cross Blue shield will carry it, and all pharmacies in California will have access.
