Hasan tackles the insulin market manipulation and monopolies in the USA. The same companies that sell Americans toxic sugar and fat foods are the ones that sell insulin! The insulin racketeers make slight, meaningless changes to insulin patents every several years to maintain patents. Meanwhile insulin prices in the USA are up to 10x higher than the rest of the world.

It is extortion and a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi are the criminial companies involved in directly assuring more Americans die.
Time for a total overhaul of this disgusting monopoly system of drugs and foods.
The patent system really needs to be reformed. Don't get me wrong, I think patents are important but insulin treatment as been around long enough that there shouldn't be any patents that apply anymore. Minor tweaks don't deserve patent protection.
