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

over $300 before insurance.
That’s a 6,000% markup.
Then those big pharm should be fined at $31,800,00.00 for every dose.
Do you know what I see in Hufflepuffs? I see loyalty. I see fierce friendship. We are hard working, we are compassionate. And at the end of the day, we’re going to do the right thing, and not because of the glory, but for the greater good. Because fuck it — that’s what Hufflepuff means.
