Insulin is patented and smuggling it is illegal

It's not smuggling. You just have to show the border guys your receipts and let them check your belongings. Canadians go over to America to buy cheap shit so there's nothing stopping them from doing the same

Its the price of freedom

Many Americans don’t have passports and / or don’t know about Canadian pricing.

>patented
you wut

Patents last 20 years in Canada/USA.

merely pretending

cant you go to jail for bringing milk across the border?

No but you have to declare what you're bringing

Even for milk? Here you need to declare only meat and alcohol and only if its more than a certain amount.

Yes and many other products. IIRC You're allowed 20kg of milk. Of course what I mentioned are for Americans other countries have different rules

We do you dumb cunt, in droves

what if you bring your very busty cow gf over the border and the very shy and nervous cute canadian border patrol needs you to declare your cow gfs breast milk and he drinks all of it and cums all over your passenger side window as she cooes and giggles because of how adorable the situation is

Your pic implies it's a new thing and something that's rare. Seriously if you know someone with diabetes tell them to drive up to Canada instead of paying $1000 for fucking insulin of all of things

Can't you just buy it online?

I have no idea

Why would I do that? More than anything the world needs more dead Americans.

t. New Brunswicker in a land of depravity

My parents unironically bought epipens from Canada. They took a road trip, bought epipens, then came home. Like 1/10 the price lol

I just find it very dystopian and sad that US Pharma can do something like that

Was it worth it? Was the drive long?

I guess all you really need in America is a green card

Live by the sword die by the sword. The sword in this scenario is both capitalism and dog medicine.

No they live in Detroit suburbs. Canada is just across the bridge, about a 45 min drive. I think they made a lil day trip of it, seemed to be entirely worth it and saved them hundreds of dollars so yeah

A great amount of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and jobs don't offer paid time off and give limited sick days. Not everyone can drive from Florida to Canada and still have money to pay bills.

nice.

there's a higher proportion of Americans with passports than Canadians with passports

source? Trust me nigga, I saw it somewhere, on the deadlocs

Perhaps but at the same time there are tons of Americans who live either close to the border or reasonably close

Dog and pig (the original 'synthetic') insulin is not much different from human insulin. Very strange that it is not paid for by the state considering the obesity (type II diabetes) epidemic in the US, among other places.

Yes and those same people usually vote against anything that resembles socialism.

we need to support the local economy and the people who actually make the drugs, going across the border to buy a cheaper version just stealing at that point.

Insulin cost tens times more for you. That's a scam

Yes, we are all aware of hardcore conservative bastions like Washington and Oregon, Northern New England, and New York.

>mfw an american made the argument that companies who charge a million bucks for insulin are justified because of the R&D costs

>not getting fucked in the ass by a company is stealing

peak bootlicking right here

Why is Insulin expensive in America?

Going into the US is far harder than going into Canada. The US border patrol will automatically think you’re up to something even if you’re white. In Canada, it doesn’t matter maybe that’s why guns are flowing here in record numbers????

Insurance and medical companies are a cartel

When the last time you left europe? It's roughly the same size. If you don't leave there isn't a point

most americans will never leave their country

No it isn't. You're probably just shady as fuck or something

your own citizens come here in droves for quality health care.

because we don't have any real regulation on pharma companies so instead of the government negotiating prices they can do pretty much whatever they want

he is not a euto, he is a shitskin who immigrated to switzerland, of course he must have some kind of an international id.

Yeah and you can do the same.

Big pharms own this country

those pesky lobbyists again huh

insulin is $10 a month if you are not retarded and have any kind of insurance. so it is not an issue for most people.

On one hand, it's money coming into the country, and a broader market. On the other, it's a broken system leeching off a moderately functional one, and there's no freaking way yank Pharma will let Americans pay less for the same medicine

>whats a deductible???
lel

>On one hand, it's money coming into the country, and a broader market
yes this is good for us
>On the other, it's a broken system leeching off a moderately functional one
And the broken system hastens to it's end because of it
>and there's no freaking way yank Pharma will let Americans pay less for the same medicine
how can they stop it without going full tyrant?

PPO?
or do you mean high deductible plans?
those now cover insulin before the deductible is met.

>how can they stop it
they can't. you can buy online

Based and insulinpilled though considering it only went into effect last month most people probably haven't felt the benefit.

At any rate, they'll just crank your premiums up to compensate. So long as private companies are involved they are going to demand their pound of flesh.
