Abstract

Interview with Dr. Michael Fralick on contributors — and proposed solutions — to high insulin prices in the United States. (07:41)Download The members of the team that discovered insulin sold the patent to the University of Toronto for $1 each because they felt that the drug belonged to the public. Nearly 100 years later, insulin is inaccessible to thousands of Americans because of its high cost.
