I think you’ve misunderstood the comparison with candy bars. Many medicines that health insurance companies charge through the nose for are sold for very little, sometimes pennies a dose, in other countries.

Insulin doesn’t actually cost that much to make. Two to four dollars a dose.

Paracetamol is dirt cheap. In the UK it can bought for as cheap as a penny a tablet, and that’s twenty times what it costs to make.

The insurance companies charge stupid prices for them though, despite them being of similar production costs as candy.

I was amazed, but you can buy a “dinasour” colouring book, so maybe they’re right.

The Native Martians, obviously.

A student and/or a professor.

Which I’m happy enough with - I’ve had a taste of both, albeit with substantially fewer demon-related shenanigans.
