Why insulin is so expensive in the US is clear: unfettered, unchecked, and unmitigated pharmaceutical greed.

The solution is similarly simple: the federal government should regulate the price of insulin. The federal government must take action to regulate and reform the systems that produce, distribute, and control the insulin market.

However, the US healthcare system has intentionally created a labyrinth of complexity that has resulted in the opacity of blame. True change is hindered by interlocking structures of corporate influence that enforce rather than disrupt the status quo.

Why is Insulin So Expensive is a policy playbook created by T1International with support from the West Health Foundation for #insulin4all advocates. In the playbook, we outline all of the reasons why insulin is so expensive and how to solve the insulin price crisis, to mobilize for effective solutions at the state and federal levels.
