# Insulin &amp; Disobedience 

The laws that allow the FDA to block drugs from the market and to force consumers to obtain prescriptions from government‐​approved gatekeepers are harmful, unjust, and immoral. They prevent consumers from exercising their right to self‐​medicate and prevent manufacturers both from selling safe, effective, and even life‐​saving drugs directly to consumers and from providing consumers truthful information about drugs. They prevent consumers, diabetics in particular, from exercising their right to self‐​medicate and prevent manufacturers both from selling safe, effective, and even life‐​saving drugs directly to consumers and from providing consumers truthful information about drugs.
