Insulin is a whole other story. It's a generic drug developed in the 1920s. As far as I know, Canada does not subsidize it so what you pay is the cost of producing it.
There is something messed up with the drug industry in the States. They usually use the excuse (for drugs under patent) that it's to re-coup the cost of developing the drug. But that just doesn't fly for insulin which was developed almost 100 years ago. Trump got the prices to drop, but under Xiden, they shot up again.
Trust me. I know. I'm in BC. Fuck my life.
Still, I pay measly $2000 per year for insulin, vs the $40,000 I have to if I lived in the states.
