You know.....good ol' "free market" and such....always works itself out
 .How 'bout those epi pens? Real cheap too. Meanwhile, NARCAN is free to keep their opiate addicts alive so they can buy more.

Why can't the people who sell insulin just keep the price at $21 per and then simply work harder so they can make the same amount of money they would if they exponentially raised the price? I don't get it.

I don't get it. They are making as many diabetics as they can. It's not easy.

Not a reason given by the manufacturers. they are increasing current prices so they can work on new versions...and charge more for them. Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self. |
