Bernie Sanders travels with Americans going to Canada to get cheaper insulin
U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders travelled to Windsor, Ont. this Sunday with a group of Americans to obtain cheaper, affordable insulin, slamming the “greed” of American pharmaceutical companies.
Outside of a Canadian pharmacy, he held up a tiny bottle.
“Here’s the bottom line: this is a vial of insulin,” he said. “In the United States, depending on where you live, it’ll cost 350 to 400 bucks. Here in Canada, it will cost 35 or 40 bucks. One tenth the price, made by exactly the same manufacturer.”
Sanders stood next to a mother who said she spends roughly US$1,500 a month for insulin for her son. But in Windsor, she paid US$1,000 for a six-month supply.
Why is the same medicine so much more expensive in the U.S.?
