BREAKING: Drugmaker Eli Lilly has capped the price of its insulin at $35 per month, putting them directly in line with a provision from the Inflation Reduction Act.

Experts in the field believe other insulin makers in the U.S. are likely to follow.

Thank you, President Biden.

Whenever they want to join the human race again, and understand people have legitimate needs that maybe government has to step up and deal with when the private sector/free market won’t, then maybe they won’t have to deal with being called a “shithole party.”

Totally up to them, though. This is fixable, but they have to step up and fix it.

No other developed nation uses markets to set prices.

No other developed nation has Healthcare costs (percent of GDP) as high as the US.

Healthcare outcomes in the US are the worst among eleven wealthiest nations.
