What is considered dirt cheap?

One kind of insulin can be bought for ~$25 at Walmart.

Now, this means that you have to monitor you sugar levels, have a restrictive diet, etc. All things that are very restrictive but better than dying that people did when insulin treatment was first being developed.

Now we have newer, reformulated insulin that allows for a more permissive lifestyle. That is expensive.

Should the newer stuff be cheaper? It certainly allows for a greater QOL and took time and money to research.
