It is different, but it's still incredibly cheap to make, $4 a vial, so it costing in the hundreds is just antihuman...

It's not anti human, the rest of us get it just fine. It's specifically anti-american

This is a great way of phrasing things.

Services that are necessary for life (like healthcare)...if other countries have figured out how to make it affordable/free (at point of use), any person or industry that tries to extract profit out of it is literally anti-American.

Bingo. It's extortion and if the asshat in charge gave any kind of a real fuck about cheap medicine it should've been a day 1 fix.

Absolutely. I'm just saying that the original guy selling the patent isn't the reason that corporations can gouge Americans for insulin now.
