Insulin was invented ~100 years ago, and its patent sold for $1.

“Do you know the reason why [insulin is] $1,000 with insurance?” ~@AoC

There is no reason for insulin to cost $21 in Canada for a 10 ml bottle, while it costs a mortgage payment in the US.

@mackayim2022 @AoC things are presented too complicated but things usually happen around us are simple. That simplicity is called fucking capitalism

Feels to me this is oversimplifying a bit - there are >100 capitalist countries, but only one where a drug that's life-saving, simple to manufacture, in common use, and not patented, is prohibitively expensive
