Insane prices for insulin?
edit: you really think insulin prices don't have an effect on the lifespans of diabetics?

Are they insane, though? How many hours average man should work to pay for average monthly dose of the average quality insulin? May be even more affordable than in other countries.
Insulin is cheap elsewhere.
> U.S. manufacturer gross prices per 100 international units of insulin were on average 9.71 times those in OECD comparison countries combined.
It is 10 times more expensive in USA.
According to ceicdata, annual household income per capita in USA is 10.6 times more than in Mexico. Even with prices 10 times higher it is slightly more affordable in USA.
I don’t think the average man should have to work any hours to pay for an average monthly dose of average quality anything that they require to stay alive. Perhaps I’m insane.
Who then will work to provide these average monthly doses of things they require to stay alive?
