The people who did the work? Like the researchers at Novo that mainly just get salary? Let them have their salary, patents and scientific recognition. That is their credit.

Indeed Novo has built upon a lot of research and most of that is publicly funded. The price of the drug of course should recompense the organization for costs in research, trials and approval.

Still it is strange that costs to the consumer are 9 times higher on the US market than in Europe.

Also, it's strange that capitalisation is so free in making money that high prices are required to attract capital for helping and healing people. Human lives are worth less than profits. Gross amounts of money are making their way to sociopaths. You are downplaying a very real and sad state of affairs with "but money must be made". Sadly that is the state of things, but you put it as if this is as it should be.

Insulin was named as an example which you gloss over, where research wasn't needed and production could be optimized for larger profits, but prices were raised to the point of people cutting back on their intake. This has caused bodily damage, loss of eyesight, loss of life. This wasn't to the benefit of the working people, and to the deficit of patients.
