Meanwhile, 10 euros per vial here in Europe. At least his original plan for widespread and easy availability has partially succeeded.

    In brazil 36 reais (about 6 euro). The US is a joke. (And im 99% sure you can also get it for free if you use the public health network)

    I have mental health disabilities in the USA and my meds are at zero cost because I literally have had absolute zero income for the past 5 years.

    You wouldn't believe how much those mood stabilizer/antidepressant cocktails stack up proportionally when I was able to scrape by on $15 an hour.

    The system set me up to fail with how shitty it is, if healthcare wasn't crap I could be contributing to society without crippling myself.

    Even worst, my dog got it for free from the public vet university for years. They even gave us the syringes. It's the same human insulin and my dog got it for free. Guess his plan worked better than he thought... only no in the us
