>because some ambitious motherfucker decided to make a cheap commodity like insulin a monopolized product You're talking about the legislators and the bureaucrats, right? Sure, the lobbyists asked them too but you'd think professionals would be a little more responsible than to just do what the lobbyists ask (yes I know they only did so incrementally over a decades long time period but my point stands). This stuff is only a monopoly because we've made it so slow and money consuming to break into these industries that there is not a steady enough flow of new entrants who undercut incumbents and drive costs down to actually keep the costs down.
