"California Governor Newsom's Veto Stance: Insulin Price Caps and Caste Discrimination Bill"

California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill aimed at limiting the price of insulin, which would have prevented insurance companies from charging more than $35 for a 30-day supply. Newsom cited the state's plan to manufacture its own brand of insulin, CalRx, as a more sustainable solution to high-cost pharmaceuticals. State Senator Scott Wiener, who crafted the bill, criticized the veto, stating that it would keep diabetic Californians trapped in the difficult choice between buying insulin and buying food.
