The OpenInsulin project is great and could provide good a good entrance nationwide for insulin into Mark Cuban’s new pharmacy company. All sorts of interesting new thinking.

I guess I imagined the $50 million could include the approval process, I agree it would be great if they partnered with [OpenInsulin.org](http://OpenInsulin.org).

Here’s the US government’s official information for drug shortages (provided by the FDA, a department of the US):

[https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/drugshortages/dsp\_SearchResults.cfm](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/drugshortages/dsp_SearchResults.cfm)

It also shows discontinuations; like, hey, “I know that worked fine for many years, but they don’t make it anymore.” Big shortage there.
