This comment feels disingenuous. Peptides were first synthesized in the 80s and we have been providing peptide drugs to diabetes patients since the 2000s. So this “experiment in semi-free-market medicine” in which “there have been no more side effects than any other medication” is built on the back of 20yrs of research + 20yrs of commercial use.

To me it seems like quoted comment is trying to make a case for the deregulation in healthcare. Which is 1) a slippery slope and 2) not supported by the example they provided. It’s just a whole lot of libertarian vaporware
