    Thousands of Americans die every year because they cannot afford to see a doctor. Sadly, 's daughter was one of them. We fight for Medicare for All because no parent should have to go through that pain just so a few companies can make more in profit.

    Incredibly emotional moment in Canada: "Today I saved $10,000. $1000 got me 6 months of insulin for my son. I paid $1000, that's less than we pay a month in the United States. How can we be the greatest country and I am paying that much?"

    Three drug companies control 90 percent of the insulin market, and year after year they raise the price of insulin at the same levels. I will appoint an Attorney General who will enforce our antitrust laws, and executives caught engaging in price-fixing will go to jail.

    "Three drug companies made $14.5 billion in profit last year, control 90% of the insulin in this country, it's just an amazing coincidence prices go up and and up and up, so what you do is you throw these people in jail if they engage in price fixing"

    This is something that must change and will get it done. It is a crime that you can buy the same medicine for the 10th of a price in Canada. Bernie will stop the greed coming from big pharma.

    The inventors of insulin sold the patent for just $1 so it would be available to all. 97 years later, Americans are dying because drugmakers like Eli Lilly charge $300 for a vial of insulin. Tomorrow I will be joining diabetics to buy insulin in Canada for one-tenth the price.
