The same insulin that costs $400 in America costs $12 in Canada.


Same pill. Same factory.
Same chemical compound. Same life saving medication.
$400 here. $12 there.
Americans are rationing insulin to survive.
Splitting pills in half to make them last.
Driving across the border just to afford medication their doctor prescribed.
This is not a supply chain problem.
This is not a shortage.
This is not complicated.
It is a deliberate decision to charge Americans more because the system allows it.
And every year politicians hold hearings about it.
Express outrage about it.
Form committees about it.
And then go cash a check from the same pharmaceutical companies profiting from it.
People are dying.
Not from a disease that can’t be treated.
From a disease that can be treated perfectly.
Just not affordably.
And nobody in power has missed a single dose because of it.
