Just don't live in a country where one company has a monopoly on Insulin and you also can't Import it. Then problem one is not a problem anymore.
There's not really a problem with meat either. You don't have to eat it and if you do, you don't have to feel bad about eating animals.
That said, there is kind of a problem with insulin manufacturing in that it's kind of centralized and distribution can be difficult, especially in remote areas with unreliable electricity. If insulin manufacturing could be done at the garage or shipping container scale in the places where it's needed, it would help a lot of people.
If insurance companies weren't greedy parasites insuling could be much more available too.
