Good thing the gov and its FDA give a handful of insulin providers a market exclusive and would shut down any competitor on their behalf who might try to bring a less expensive product to market (and with guns if necessary).
once the guv fully takes over healthcare and has to deficit spend to keep it alive (like all other schemes it purports to run) many will be told its cheaper for them to die, remain in pain, not get needed treatments, etc. and they will also find that govt bureacrats are no more compassionate than those employed at insurance co's.
Animal - derived insulin was developed in Canada 100 years ago. It became the global standard. In the 70’s a human gene derived insulin was developed and evolved to the standard in the US. Companies ceased producing animal- derived insulin for the US market.
Animal- derived insulin remains available in Canada and Europe and is a substantially lower costing alternative for many people.
My point is the free market, which includes marketing to MDs and consumers in the US, made animal- derived insulin obsolete in the US. The Federal Government did not ban animal- derived insulin.
I am not diabetic and don’t know what I am talking about as it relates to insulin. There’s likely advantages to human gene derived insulin for some patients. But if the patient can’t afford it.....

So you are a member of the gunpoint crowd? The same libertarian nuts who think driver's licences should be available for blind people? Anyone with a brain knows what the consequences are of moving towards a medieval charity based society. Its death, despair and massive suffering for the underprivileged. Only libertarian nuts and people who lack compassion want such a society.
How is that possible when so many on the left believe they should be paying the poor's bills? There should be plenty of the left's cheerfully donated money to go around.

Private charity is great but it is woefully inadequate to address crushing poverty.

It shouldn't be inadequate considering so many on the left think it's their responsibility to pay the poor's bills. Why aren't they giving more of their money to the poor?

How much do you donate extra to the military? Or perhaps you voluntarily choose to fight the wars you pine for, instead of donating extra money to the military budget??
