The biohackers making insulin 98% cheaper | Just Might Work by Freethink

These biohackers plan to give away their instructions for how to make insulin for free.
Subscribe here: freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe-...
Today, over seven million Americans with diabetes use at least one form of insulin to treat the disease, but many are at risk of not getting the care they need. The American Diabetes Association reported that 25% of patients have turned to self-rationing their medication to deal with its ever-increasing price tag.
It’s estimated that a vial of insulin costs pharmaceutical companies five to six dollars to manufacture, but because of a complicated web of regulations those companies are able to sell vials for $180-400. And rising costs are nothing new. Insulin prices tripled from 2002 to 2013, and doubled between 2012 and 2016.
A group of dedicated biohackers believes that making insulin more accessible requires taking the monopoly away from the big three pharmaceutical companies that produce it. So they’ve started the Open Insulin Foundation, a non-profit with plans to develop the world’s first open-source insulin production model.

What do you think of this approach to producing insulin?

[@JOSEPHELBOSS]

I think it's a great idea. We should use this method to reduce the price of other 💊💉.

[@patrafferty3910]

Anything that lowers the cost has my vote Hate to sound like a capitalist hating commie but food water meds and housing should be available to everyone not just those that can afford it There are plenty of other ways to make a buck. Type 1 diabetics are stuck tied to the need for insulin just to survive this country is powerful enough and rich enough to cover that need. As for type 2 we need better education about what causes insulin resistance carbs from whole food sources veggies,fruit,whole grains and legumes don't make you fat or cause insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is caused when your body tries to store fat in the muscle cells this won't let the insulin unlock the cell to let the glucose in, the body is not stupid it knows having to much glucose flow around in your blood is not healthy so it starts to store it in your liver thus fatty liver disease if you are a type 2 that is still making insulin but not able to utilize it detox your body from all animal based foods you will be amazed how fast your bp drops your cholesterol drops and your glucose suddenly comes under control It took me about three weeks to start feeling better and it is just getting better and better everyday I don't really count calories But I always feel full now. There is alot of info about the whole food plant based lifestyle on KZbin We don't have to be sick anymore and support big pharma live in peace everyone Pat

[@mthulisindzombane5623]

The problem has never been the technical know-how, its the companies that stand to lose that block such efforts. Honestly i would be surprised if this gets to a point where the recipe to make insulin is in the hands of the people. I have no doubt that Big Pharma will do everything in its power to destroy this project, no matter the cost. I can only pray that these guys manage to get past all the obstacles.

If there's a cheaper effective solution then insurance will quickly jump ship, and then a few unthinkably rich people stand to lose what brings in the cash...

It is cheap...overseas. But the US government has made it illegal to import insulin from overseas. So blame the government for propping up an oligopoly.

[@matthewmcintosh4925]

It is in every country with universal healthcare. And in some cases it's free. But then again most countries understand that a healthy population is a more productive population. So the government get higher tax revenue than they otherwise would by simply having more people working. But like all things in america all you have to do to make people act against their own best interests is to simply mention the dreaded C word communism. Then sit back and watch people shoot themselves in their own foot. Hospital free, ambulance free, prescription medication $6.50 up to $800 per annum then free for the rest or the year. Dr. Visit free. Corona vax free. This of course has the unintended effect of having a happy healthy population with ample leisure time and money to spend on other activities that generates more tax income and jobs. Really it isn't that hard when you stop repeating old chatch phrases and make an effort to improve everybody's life.

[@anthonycekic4509]

@@TheCreeperTrack1 it's because we don't have universal healthcare like those other countries.

Coming from a family in India with the diabetes issue and seeing my father on insulin till the day he lived I'm surprised at how expensive such a crucial life saving medication is in the supposedly richest most powerful country in earth. We used to pay like $5 for the vials and over the years now it's about $11. Thank God for the generic medicine companies in India. I've also seen the same with chemo meds. My mother had cancer and she passed away about 13 years ago however when we were getting her chemo done the generic therapy costed us about $500 ( very expensive in a poor country like ours but thankfully the govt pays for that) as against about $5000 from multi national corps like Novartis, etc. The story of the mum struggling for those insulin for her son brought tears to my eyes, I wish our pharma companies would open source the secrets so that no mother would have to go through what she probably is going at this moment.

Used to be we had checks in place to prevent one party from making sweeping decisions on judges.

In the name of "democracy" they lowered several legislative actions to a simple majority, made the Senate the exact same process of election as the house to effectively neuter it's purpose, and changed the us vice presidency from the runner up into a person of the winner's choice, allowing in this election for a person who got zero delegates in the primaries for president to gain the seat of vice president and the power of the president himself, since our president is too senile to do it himself. Our system used to be incredibly intelligent. It's just over the last 50-60 years that we've become what you see now. Just you wait, another 10 years, and justices will have term limits or the court will be increased in number every 4 years, while the Senate and house still don't get term limits. Government used to be a civic duty. You wouldn't get paid much, and you did it because you felt called. But these vultures in Congress keep voting themselves massive raises and bonuses, so of course they want to make a career out of it. The funny part is, the reason Congress does so little actual work was because of their small pay. They do the same small amount of work, but get paid better than some doctors.

@Uncookedcat 069 Republicans don't do anything. The only critique for Republicans is just how useless they are.

Insulin in India costs $25 a month for even the most needy patients, while you can get it for free from government dispensaries if you have a government hospital prescription

[@danielefavaretto174]

Same in italy, if you want the whole set up (pen, needle, and vial) max 40€.

@NRG 2000 because the us forbid it, only approved companies can sell it

[@tiloalo]

@NRG 2000 yes I feel it almost speak for the big pharma, pretending like it's a complicated process while it cost an average of 8$ outside of the USA and 111$ in the USA...

@NRG 2000 Humalog (by Eli Lilly, an american company) costs R$80 (15USD) in Brazil.

Yes, but India’s GDP per capita is trash...

Very nice to see people out there really trying to make a difference

[@Stone87148]

I couldn't believe insulin would be so expensive at US. The cost of 300 IU (International Unit) of Insulin at China costs about $8.

You see a small group of people working for affordable Insulin, You're filled with determination.
