    at drastically reduced prices

    They’re not reduced prices. They’re normal prices. The cost for insulin in the US is bloated and excessive beyond all comprehension. Framing it as a reduced or discount price in Mexico feeds into the idea that the US prices are somehow reasonable or normal. They are not.

      Just a fun reminder that Cuba has a lung cancer vaccine that costs like $1 per shot.

      I feel like healthcare costs could be a real catalyst for left-policies in the U.S but the Healthcare Industry is going to fight it every step of the way.

        Is the WHO like a medical UN or ICC? Like third party org with some neutrality/impartiality that could “absorb” and evaluate this drug, solely from a medical and not political lens? Do we have that type of org in the world for pure scientific breakthrough that is trapped in otherwise difficult countries or between political feuds?
