California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Thursday that the state will develop its own “low-cost” insulin—an essential hormone that many rely on to treat their diabetes—making the state the first in the country to pursue such an effort.

In a video shared on Twitter, he said that “people should not go into debt to receive life-saving medication.”
