    It is cool but…as of right now isn’t insulin dirt cheap to make anyways? They just mark it up a few thousand percent?

      Cheap to make, super expensive when sold. Just look at USA. Recently increased in price over 1000%, because fuck everyone we need more money. Some people pay more than 200$ per bottle. So any source that can produce insulin cheaply is bound to drop prices these gouging assholes are setting.

        These new guys will sell it for $199 a bottle. And then Big Pharma will give them an offer they can’t refuse, and the company gets merged into a megacorporation or dissolved
