First off, insulin is HARD TO MAKE. Its synthesized rDNA, this isn't the same as making pills out of powder from china and selling it at a 40% discount with plenty of margin still. This has to be grown and made in a lab with a very high precision.

Second off a bottle of insulin is like 25 bucks..... Boo freaking hoo. Most people cant wrap their head around how insane that is. You are buying f*ing DNA.. that someone made.. that's saving your life.. for 25 bucks.
