No free market on insulin here in Finland.

Insulin is free.

Capitalism created American price gouging. You have people dying over something that's completely treatable.

If the "resources were allocated" correctly, then it's not efficient in any way for an economy to have people dying over something as cheap and easy to treat just because someone can blackmail people to pay more.

My unemployed friend who is a single mother with type 1 diabetes and who has two kids with type one diabetes would be in real fucking life danger in the US. As it stands, she doesn't need to worry about that. All because we haven't (yet) allowed capitalism to (completely) rape our healthcare system.
