More and more states are joining a major lawsuit to hold the makers of Insulin liable for price gouging American consumers for decades. These lawsuits could force the companies to pay up big time for scamming the public.

The two scientists responsible for producing the insulin we use today each took $0.50 for the discovery. Probably due to them being human and seeing the first patient given the drug basically spring to life by the time the last patient was given a dose. Too bad most are blinded by forever chasing a dollar these days.
Edit: I’ve been a lifetime diabetic and seen some of the most amazing people die long painful deaths due to insulin’s unaffordability through the 90s and into the 2000s. While it’s amazing to see more states caping the price, it wasn’t always that way and FUCK these scum.
We don’t use that insulin today. Why do you think we do?
Science is built on the shoulders of giants my friend. Those men are why I breath today and they did it for a small sum.
And acting like they were the only people responsible diminishes the achievements of everyone involved since.
Are you arguing the folks who’ve made tweaks to the molecule deserve soo much money that some patients can’t afford it? Cause when it first came out and was seen as a miracle, it was easily accessible.
