It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.
Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.
Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Immunotherapy researcher Miriam Merad from Icahn Mount Sinai says the reason that cancer research has slowed is because of funding issues, which is something taxpayers don’t have to accept.
