I appreciate your activity in helping to bring insulin prices down.
For clarification, I want to add that the free market is working best when there are hundreds of suppliers as opposed to just one or even a handful of suppliers. In that light, more people taking up the challenge to manufacture insulin without taking a profit would be a good thing and could reduce prices significantly. I am too old, otherwise I would consider doing it myself. Many universities have scientists working on fermentation of genetically modified bacteria and yeasts. The resources and expertise are out there.
