US insulin charges are the highest in the world

[Harry Dresden]

My co-worker pays up the wazoo for his insulin. Gov Newsome seems to be the only politician to give a damn about sky high pricing.

they all give a dam when elections are coming up.....

Cost of Insulin by Country 2024

worldpopulationreview.com

I dont get this. The $35 was too expensive and the GOP crushed that.
Why do US diabetics get punished for their illness like this ?

Is it because big pharma owns the politicians ?

If they can offer insulin to the rest of the world at a reasonable price why cant Americans get it ?
It looks very much like a "free market" stitch up to me. My insulin is made by a |French company called Saniflo. They are listed on nasdaq as well.

How can they afford to sell it to the NHS at next to nothing and yet charge $90 a phial in the US ?

Somebody is protecting them. As ever the public pays the price, There doesnt seem to be any interest in a regulated market because politicians do not profit from that..

Drug companies that spend billions of dollars on a drug, get it through trials, and can actually start selling it? Have only between 10 and 20 years to make bake their money......before other companies get to simply take their creation and make the pills .........this is why drugs cost so much....and the greedy countries like Britain who refuse to pay a fair market price for the miracle drugs created in the U.S........as a country they have truly become greedy and lazy...

How Long Does a Drug Patent Last?

Drug patents are good for 20 years after the drug's invention. In most cases, this time frame is halved to 10 years by the time the drug hits the marketplace.

Tell Britain, Canada, and the rest of the socialised countries to pay their fair share for American miracle drugs......if they paid what they owe, then the prices would already come down.....their greed is causing the problem...

I have worked my entire life to insure that my husband and children had health care

So you sound proud that you have busted your ass for a lifetime to provide your family with a useless product. Post #32.

Cool.

How about we stand up to big Pharma and demand the same prices other countries pay.

Insulin has been around for 100 years. Other than people need it to survive, there is no reason to price gouge

So you don't want any innovation or drugs for people who suffer in smaller populations that need drugs but aren't enough to merit the risk.......good thinking.....

They use insulin to help them cover the lost money for the drugs that don't work.....get the lazy Europeans to pay their fair share and the price would come down.

Who just caved on insulin?
The DEMOCRATIC bill allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices

Insulin is not a new drug
No reason it is three times the price other countries pay

We protect Drug companies for 20 years and then allow multiple extensions before other companies can compete

You live in a fantasy World. The makers of insulin are probably all in their graves by now.
Its just greed that is causing this. Buy the politicians and charge what you like.
Companies will continue to develop drugs because if they dont they will go out of business..
