Why is there no black market for insulin? Like build capacity in Mexico/Canada and smuggle the product in the US? Seems like the multiplier would still be pretty good.

There is plenty of gray market for insulin near both borders. No large players (just individuals going over the border to buy).

Why do you assume there isn't one already? The "War on Drugs" was never just about illegal drugs across borders, and US Customs will try to stop many legal ones too, especially at volume.

The Bush admin basically made a point of ending crossing the boarder to buy cheap drugs.
