FYI: The majority of insulin these days is human insulin produced by GM bacteria or yeasts. Just because there's more than one obvious problem doesn't mean that you can ignore the others. More to the point, this isn't just about a single disease or drug, the same story applies to a lot of medication, including those that have zero lifestyle causes. EpiPens are another example mentioned in the article. In the US if your child is born with a deadly allergy you have to carry around very expensive EpiPens that can cost hundreds of dollars due to co-pay and whatever. In Europe these will cost you directly less than $10 and even to the state will cost a lot less than it does to many US patients. One of the company's responses to hiking the price from $50 to $600 for profit reasons was to introduce a cheaper generic version, which as this article points out, is BS.
