Americans Travel to Canada for cheaper insulin

[longknife]

Tell me how disgusting this is.

Insulin prices in the United States nearly doubled to an average annual cost of $5,705 US in 2016 from $2,864 in 2012, according to a study in January.

Quinn Nystrom, a leader of T1International's Minnesota chapter, said in May that the price in the U.S. of insulin per vial was $320 US, while in Canada the same medication under a different name was $30.

From over five grand to thirty dollars.


And the person who discovered insulin refused to patent it as he wants needy people to be able to afford it.
