Well, we don't pay that. I pay $7 for 100. Our insurance pays the rest, which is why insurance rates are through the roof and if you don't have a job with insurance, you pretty much can't get it. Insurance companies won't cover diabetics because we are too high of a risk for them and we are an automatic loss for their company.
