insulin should only be allowed for type 1
type 2 diabetes would solve itself

>>16566925
NNNNNOOOOOOOOO

THAT MAKES YOU A GERMAN SOLDIER FROM WW2

Tfw when your gf is type 1 and you have to make sure she always has health insurance if you get married because fat retards use all the insulin

>>16566910
you're a fucking retard

>>16566910
>burgers

>>16566910
yeah there's definitely nothing wrong with increasing the price of life saving medication to ridiculous levels for absolutely no reason other than muh profit. libertarianism is so cool.

But the price of insulin isn't changing.

The new types of special-snowflake, custom-made, convenient-for-your-fat-ass insulin are. And they're high because developing something that won't kill you requires probably millennia of collective studying, training, research, and development.

I hope you get released soon. Your really well protected in a cell.

>special-snowflake, custom-made, convenient-for-your-fat-ass insulin
wtf are you talking about

>>16568271
This. Walmart insulin is $25 a vial. It works great but you have to tightly regiment your meals while on it to avoid hypoglycemia which 90% of the fat fucks who are on it are by definition unable to do.

>>16566910
We should also make antibiotics cost $10000 per dose lol. Immunelets btfo.

>>16568249
who knew being alive had such inelastic demand

>>16568271
>requires probably millennia of collective studying, training, research, and development.
The scientists who did the actual hard work went out of their way to ensure that greedy faggots couldn't monopolise their discovery to gouge consumers
>The patent would not be used for any other purpose than to prevent the taking out of a patent by other persons. When the details of the method of preparation are published anyone would be free to prepare the extract, but no one could secure a profitable monopoly.
But here we are 100 years later and stupid fucks like you are BEGGING to be subjugated. The mind boggles.

>>16568300
Novo Nordisk recently launched an insulin-pill, so you don't have to use the insulin pen.

>>16568249
>t. diabetic

>>16568249
There are no patents on Insulin.. what you are paying for is the pen, the brand, etc. You are buying the equivalent of kabbalah water, instead of regular water.

This board is complete shit

>killing off someone who would've been a loyal wageslave for about 50 years just so you can potentially make a few hundred bucks now

You're slaving it wrong.

>>16568475
oh ok. so please point me to where i can buy plain, affordable insulin without all the bells and whistles.

>>16568369
Right, that took care of one basic patent angle in our drug development pipeline.

Tell you what? From here, I'll gather a few hundred biochemist PhDs and arrange a few thousand people on the chemical production side.

You can get 50,000 genetically identical mice, delivered on demand. Give or take an order of magnitude. After that we'll need a few thousand pigs or convicts in China or whatever.

Oh and arrange for 10,000 people to give us $1,000,000 each.

Alternatively just 100 people giving $100,000,000 each or 10,000,000 giving $1,000 each could work. They can also invest that money in Netflix or Coke stock or whatever, so you probably want to calculate and present some ROI calculations.

Also you could also structure it as a charity - then we don't need to charge anything for the final product. But that's probably a lot harder to arrange.

Mate fuck off with all that cope, it's simple price gouging enabled by regulatory capture.

>>16568369
>But here we are 100 years later and stupid fucks like you are BEGGING to be subjugated. The mind boggles.

"Being exploited is good when its not duh gubbermint doing it!"

Lolbertardians absolutely get the bullet too.

>>16568369
muh greed and muh price gouging isn't the problem
people should be able to make drugs and charge whatever the fuck they want
patents are socialism faggot and should be abolished

>>16568533
Regulatory capture? Man I'm just trying to keep us out of prison when we skip a trial, our insulin-in-a-pill gives 1 out of 1,000 people a fatal heart attack, and we're charged with corporate manslaughter or some shit.

Juries are pretty unforgiving when you've put together $10b.

>>16568553
patents violate the nap you dumb stinky niggard

>>16568525
that's interesting but apparently it's not a form of insulin that works for everyone.

>>16568582

Hey guys, me and a buddy are putting together a drug development company. It's kind of hard getting all the investors and telling them their investment's more a 95% donation when some Indian generics maker steals any chance at earning money back in the market.

Do you think formalizing some kind of government-sanctioned claim to our new research might help?

>>16568643
>he needs big daddy government to protect his business
pathetic cuck

>>16568643
>You cant afford our product? Heh, guess you should try not being poor lol. That's business baby! The weak should fear the strong
>Oh noooooos! Indians are out competing us! Save us government, save us!!!!!

>>16568671
So I guess that's a "no". What other idea did you have in mind? We raise another $1b for private security forces to run assassination and sabotage missions against others who try to copy our drug?

>>16568689
I guess that's also a "no". Any idea how we can recoup our costs or succeed going the charity angle? Apparently our scientists and chemical suppliers don't want to work for free and all the billionaires I call say "I gave enough to charity this year".

>>16566910
Get insurance poorfags.

t. Type 1 diabetic

>>16568478
Hahahaha OWNED

>>16568174

Insulin price should be capped for people with type 1 diabetes while pharmaceutical companies get to price gouge people with type 2 diabetes all they want.
