As a former pharmacy worker in California, anywhere from $40 to $200, depending on the patient's insurance. There's a reason Eli Lily and other companies monitor the supply truck drivers and call the cops if they stop.

lol the next Fast and Furious should be about the crew robbing trucks full of insuline. For family.

They're more likely to do product placement on the movie for a Pharmaceutical company than to actually have such a plot.
