I agree with the thrust of the argument.

I don't love the statistical abuse endemic to the progressive movement's general reliance on edge cases to make its point.
Actual average patient cost for insulin in 2019, according to a HHS report:
"Patients who use insulin spent an average of $434 annually on insulin (see Figure ES-3), with more than
half of those enrolled in Medicare or private insurance (employer-sponsored or individual market)
spending more than $35 on at least one monthly fill. Insulin users who were uninsured for an entire year
spent an annual average of $996 on their insulin fills, about double the average amount paid by all patients
(see Figure ES-3). The average annual out-of-pocket cost for insulin for patients with private insurance
was $456 per person"
