@docjosiahboone please notice that in France, diabetics don't pay for insulin, the cost is collectivised thought la sécurité sociale.

@webshinra
Yes.
And that's how it's done in almost all of Europe.

@docjosiahboone I did not study the insulin case in particular, but collectivisation usually allow to force down the prices, as a whole state have a lot more negotiation (and coercitive) power than individuals against big pharma.
