How big is the insulin market? It sounds fairly big considering how many people have diabetes. So where are the Mexican cartels or similar black market organizations when you need them? If we're going to wait for the government, or worse, the industry itself to fix this problem it'll never be fixed. What we need is a proper black market. Is insulin available on the dark web drug markets? If not someone should make it available and cash in while still providing massive savings. That's how you solve a problem like this when your fucking government has stopped working like the US government has.
- henvic 7y agoProper black market is exactly a part of the industry that the state fights. One of the things I always wanted was to create a black market for electronics in my home country (Brazil) because taxation here is really high. You should also know that the government with its patents system is the root cause of this price spike. I wish black market organizations doing legit and good stuff (like selling medicine that is pricey due to state granted monopolies) was the norm and I hope someday it will be. However, we are not there yet.
