The patent for insulin, this incredible substance that has saved millions of lives, was sold for 1$ back when it was discovered in 1921. The goal was to never, ever, let this discovery be used for profit - it was supposed to be a family inheritance for humanity by the benevolent scientists that made this groundbreaking discovery.
100 years later, today, a vial costs 3-6 dollars to produce, yet it's sold for over 400$. Because of this, millions of Americans need to ration their insulin. How on earth did we get here?
