Ricki Yasha TarrIt's like they aren't even trying to pretend this wasn't written by a pharmaceutical company AI.
Maude Nificentgood grief.
if this (and implied claims) were true … USA would not be ranked 47th for life expectancy, and 50th for infant mortality
etc etc
also e.g. insulin (original patent sold for $1 in 1923)
Health Action International (HAI) in 2023 reported on the cost in many different countries of 1,000 units of insulin – roughly a month’s supply;
“… assessed as the number of days’ wages needed by the lowest paid government worker (or a person earning the minimum wage) to purchase 1000IU (approximately 1 month’s supply)
…The poorest affordability was in Cameroon, Nigeria and Myanmar requiring 26.7, 20.2 and 20.0 days’ wages respectively, to purchase one month’s supply. … from Vietnam (4.7 days’ wages) and Russia (2.5 days’ wages)”
BUT…
With a Federal minimum wage, insulin can cost 7 days’ wages in the USA. (Though in early 2024 there are signs US manufacturers of insulin are acting to reduce price “somewhat”.)
it doesn’t even have to be written by AI - i’ve been re-reading Milton Friedman’s Free To Choose and every page is selective BS (not to mention racist)
