I’m not denying it doesn’t happen, but to assume all people who wear mascot costumes, or are furries, smoke crack and fuck all day in costume is a massive fallacy.
Why price your stuff so high that not many people could afford it? I know they could get away with it, but would it not be more profitable if they can flood the market with this thing while making less profit per shot?
They should even push for more people to become diabetic, so now everybody uses their product.
Inelastic demand. If you need your insulin, you need it regardless of if you can afford it. A type 1 diabetic can't just choose to forgo it. Flooding the market would do nothing for them.
I understand that, but what is the point to bankrupt your customer so they can no longer buy it? Why would they not want to milk those suckers indefinitely? We get enough diabetics every year to replace the ones who died from it?
You overestimate how many people die from not getting their insulin. They need it, so they find a way. It's not like this is a recreational drug, the amount bought won't basically go up if they make it cheaper, medical products work on a different model than something like peanut butter man where making it cheaper might be a net gain
Real radical centrism is recognizing that the Founding Father's gave us the second amendment so that we could shoot at pharma executives until they lower the price of life saving medicine. God Bless America.
Replace all narcan production with insulin. Cheap insulin and you can give junkies the insilulin instead so their blood sugar plummets and you don't have any more junkies.
It's not the same product. While Walmart insulin (R and N) is a good option for people with no choice, it is very challenging to use, requires a lifestyle shift that most people can't adhere to, and leads to worse results in blood sugar control. Obviously it's better than the alternative (painful death by DKA), but it's unfair to suggest diabetics are complaining about prices and not "shopping around".
LSC is as retarded as it gets, but the cost increase of essential drug that is the only thing keeping people from dying, for no reason other than profit, is horrendous

If you are type one it should be free imo. Your basically fucking disabled.

If you post on LSC the government should give you basic income, because you're clearly too retarded to take care of yourself.
1 elksandturkeys 2019-03-05
Absolutely. Also free ps4's for everyone.

Why don't burgers just buy it in some poor european country and fly with it home? If they did it every month it would still pay back.
1 UmmahSultan 2019-03-05
Nobody actually pays $750. You either have insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or the company cuts you a deal as a charity case.
1 elksandturkeys 2019-03-05
Most burgers I know with type 1 can't afford the flight.

I suppose. But their meds are typically $1500 a month.

You're not shit next to me. My genes are just light years superior to yours and I don't even need to look at you.

Type 1 isn't a bad decision you retard! Did you attend any type of education? Jesus what a fucking idiot.

No but seriously why the fuck is insulin so expensive, it's a literal necessity

TLDR: They abuse patents.

See, this is what I don't get.

Life-saving drugs tend to have a low elasticity of demand.
