Man, 27, dies after he and fiancée switch to over-the-counter insulin to save money
7 August 2019 - When Josh Wilkerson’s insulin was no longer covered by his dad’s insurance plan, he had to cut costs by using a cheaper brand. The switch sadly cost him his life.
Ageing out of his dad’s plan at 27 meant the Virginia native, a Type 1 diabetic, would have to pay US$1,200 a month for the medicine he required.
Only making minimum wage working at a dog kennel, it was next to impossible for him to afford.
