Were I am, you just get Insulin for free with a prescription from you Family Doctor, because we have a National Health Service.

Even without said prescription, it's only €70.

Americans are being thoroughly screwed, and it's very much on purpose thanks to the way laws and regulations around Healthcare were designed in the US (and, at the risk attractint the crowd throwing "bothsideism" slogans around to defend "their" "tribe", this is due to the actions of both US major parties) since in a real Free Market, Insuline over there should cost around the same as it costs over here without a prescription, not 10x more - without artificial market barriers there would be investors literally flying planeloads of the thing from Europe to US to make a killing out of buying it cheaply over here and selling it for "merelly" twice as much over there.

I summon, Luigi!

We should be thankful for those of us not born in a third world country like the USA. 😌🙏

Please support the Open Insulin Foundation who are creating an open source model for insulin production! Such an important project!

Is there any reason a diabetic has to get the newer patented formulas instead of the old one that the pic talks about which is regularly sold for around $25 a vial in the US without insurance?

I know the new stuff works faster and you don't have to worry about your diet as much so I'm sure it's much easier, but why would you have to die instead of just managing your diet and using the $25 stuff for a month in this emergency situation?

Don't get me wrong all medicine should be free and stuff but like, why die instead of switching to the cheap stuff and dietary management for a month?

Yeah, just dismantle the state and give it to private companies... What could go wrong?

I really don't get it. If it was in the freezer, why will it be damaged when put back again? Is it that once defreezed some reaction goes on and shouldn't be stopped? I really don't get it. Would it be better to keep it outside the freezer once it warm up?
