"meanwhile: kwarrtz:  kwarrtz: ""700%"" lol I wish I had to check just to make sure I was remembering the numbers right because they still boggle my mind a little bit. This paper  estimates that a 1000 unit vial of Humalog (insulin lispro)–which in  my case lasts an average of 10 days–costs about US$5 to develop and manufacture as  of 2016.  Meanwhile, the last vial I picked up from the pharmacy cost  over $300 before insurance. That's a 6,000% markup."
