@MikeDunnAuthor As a comparison in the UK you can get a 3 months supply of insulin for £9.00 (standard prescription charge) but it is worth noting that if you have a chronic disease like diabetes you are exempt from prescription fees.

State organised health care isn't the solution to everything but it is hugely better than a system where you have to pay a third party to broker your healthcare.
