Everyone will have kids one day or knows someone who will. And if that kid is born with type-1 diabetes they will require insulin everyday or else they will die.

The inventor of insulin sold the patent for $1 because the thought that it would not be available to all was unconscionable.

It is absolutely unacceptable that insulin is not free and available to all (including to those who can afford it at the cost of financial stability).

The idea that someone without means should have to pay Walmart $86 for a worse low-budget insulin is disgusting.
