I think if there are realistic supply chain concerns I’m fine with it but otherwise why not just subsidize it?

i can think of some practical reasons to be skeptical in terms of like it seems a bit vulnerable, it could make insulin supply and price fluctuate with the balance of political power. but i agree in principle

Lots of alternatives - letting NPOs manufacture / giving them money for stuff - just capping private companies in how much $ they can charge - transparency or banning of “rebate” practices meaning it’s easier to buy without insurance
