As someone from Europe, this is hard to fathom:

> Eli Lilly’s insulin products sold $878 million in one quarter alone recently. Again lilly’s main insulin is at 43-60x price markup! It’s almost all profit!

> Lilly, Novo & Sanofi together supply 100% of all insulin in the US, and 90% of entire world!

All the other details aside, this doesn't feel okay and I cannot believe that elected officials voted against legislation to prevent this sort of a markup situation. Whatever happened to them needing to represent the interests of the people?
