How about $0. My highest offer.
A vial of insulin costs $300 in the United States. On Sunday, I'm joining a group of diabetics to go across the border to Canada, where the same medicine — the exact same — costs $30.https://twitter.com/vicenews/status/1154832139843715072 …

The fact that a person can be denied life-saving insulin for not having money - any amount of money - is abuse and violence.
-
When I was homeless, I didn't have $30 at any given time. Medicine is a human right and should cost ZERO for everybody at all times in all circumstances.

After this we can do food too. Profiting on a human’s survival sketches me out.

Anything essential to human survival--shelter, food, clothing, medicine, education, water--must be 100% free and based on need. It's the radical notion that every single human being is of equal value to every other human being. No one is disposable.

I’d rather we spend money on medicine instead of war.

Here in Slovenia insulin is covered by basic medical insurance that every citizen has by default. I'm always baffled that great nation of US doesn't have that.

We’re baffled as well

Because the US thinks company profits are more important than people. Canadians know that people are more important than company profits.
