The only observation that’s new here is the hashtag about Shkreli. Insulin is merely one of many necessary, even lifesaving drugs that are intentionally priced outside the reach of most Americans. My fiancée has a rare autoimmune condition that requires a drug that costs approximately $20/day or $600/month. She could get the exact same drug for a third that price from a veterinarian. Unfortunately, the vets are restricted to a maximum of a one-time, two week prescription. So, if the drug costs so little for the vet, why does it cost three times as much when prescribed to a human?
