It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2024. That’s a 25,714% markup.😳
That isn’t inflation. It isn’t supply chain issues. It is 100% corporate greed. #MakeInsulinFree
Remember a month or so ago when I split my scalp open and got an ambulance ride to the ER and a CT scan and an EKG and some staples whacked into my head? The bill came.
It was $200.
Well, that was my out-of-pocket. The actual bill was $4,598.37.
Well, that’s what the insurance company paid by contract. The actual actual bill was $25,546.25.
It’s like I got a twenty-five grand bonus just because I have a job.
The American medical system is insane.
Still waiting on the ambulance invoice.
@KingShawn Meh. If it's only a problem when Black Women do it, it's not an ACTUAL problem.

Boeing's outgoing CEO could get "golden parachute" worth as much as $45 million.
The CEO before him got one worth $62 million on his way out the door in 2019.
America has socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
