By RANDY SOUDERS
During the years I served as Chairman of the Board for Jean Kennedy Smith’s Arts and Disability program, Very Special Arts (VSA at the Kennedy Center), I had there opportunity to meet a wide range of remarkable and courageous disabled Americans. Among the lasting friendships is a painter and visual artist, Randy Souders, who was rendered quadriplegic at the age of 17 in a 1972 accident.

At least that was true until March 2023, when the three largest insulin manufacturers, starting withLilly, followed byNovo Nordisk and shortly thereafter,Sanofi all announced major insulin list price reductions in the range of 70% to 78%. Think about that for a second: Imagine being able to instantly...
