Pharma blames the middlemen. The middlemen blame Pharma. Does it matter? When a month of insulin that costs less than $100 in all other countries of the world is sold for >$1000 in USA - then something is truly wrong with our system. #insulin4all@ASlavitt @policydeb @peterbachmd

From the Magazine: As the cost of insulin skyrockets, some desperate diabetics are taking to rationing β and risking their lives.

How Canada works:
-Β Family owns chocolate factory in Syria
-Β Factory gets bombed
- They lose everything
-Β Canadians sponsor them
-Β They move to town of 4,000 people
-Β Dad starts making chocolate in basement
- Word spreads
They now make 250,000 pieces of chocolate a month π¨π¦
