Can we not vilify Walmart and still be upset that we're putting a small bandaid on a pretty huge gouge?
We can vilify Walmart for a number of things even if this one is not one of them. They need to pull a lot of nice things to get to neutral.
Choosing to profit off of it is choosing to let some people die if they can’t afford it. Doesn’t seem like a clearly good thing to me.
If they didn't do this, insulin would be fundamentally more expensive. Making a cheap version available at prices that a typical American can afford even without insurance, seems like a BIG step forward.
Ok but why not sell it at cost and really shake things up and save lives?
I mean, they basically are. Walmart is known for having razor-thin profit margins.
