The creator of synthesized insulin sold the patent for $1 so everyone who needed it could have it. Look where it ended up.

I know a person who has an insulin pump and the insulin costs $1200 a month (uninsured), and is required for her to live.

In The United Kingdom where I am that insulin would cost her ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, NIET, NOT A PENNY, as Diabetes is one of the illnesses exempt from prescription charges and all treatment is FREE on the National Health Service.

The USA is one of the last remaining industrialized countries whose citizens go bankrupt over medical bills since their Doctors and insurance companies care more for the almighty Dollar than their citizens health.
