The government is killing diabetics through induced market failure.

Government-induced market failure is killing insulin-dependent diabetics.

Excessive IP monopolies, the broken employer-based insurance model, collusion among a manufacturer cartel propped up by the FDA, and a ban on cheaper imports have combined to cause prices to skyrocket.

Walmart’s older formulations sold over the counter are a much-needed lifesaver, but there’s no reason safer and more effective modern formulations that launched two or three decades ago at tens of dollars a vial should now sell for hundreds of dollars a vial.

Get the government out of the way, let us have real competition instead of a state protected and subsidised cartel, and insulin could be as cheap and widely available as aspirin.
