country has public health care. so the government negotiates pricing with drug companies and caps prices. in the united states, drug makers negotiate individually with private insurance companies, and the uninsured pay list price. about 7.5 million americans rely on insulin to stay alive. the drug is largely supplied by three companies who all offer patient assistance programs. in a statement, novo nordisk told us we recognize our health care system is broken. we know more must be done to ensure insulin and we are committed to being a part of the solution. but some states are taking their own steps to lower the cost. florida passed a law that would allow large batches of drugs to be legally imported from canada into the state, and colorado capped insulin costs at $100 per monthly supply. is this a democrat-republican situation? diabics.therar re

ky natural feeling get what you want inventors and scientists trying to solve the problems of a modern world are increasingly looking to nature for solutions. it's called biomimicry. faith salie shows us how it works. >> reporter: blink and you'll miss it. >> the frog tongue is incredibly fast. it can reach accelerations up to 12 times the acceleration of gravity. to put that into perspective, astronauts going up into space experience two to three times the acceleration of gravity. >> reporter: to catch a glimpse of a frog tongue in action, you have to be pretty sharp, or determined, both of which might describe alexis noel, a bioengineer at georgia tech

university. >> you imagine these extreme accelerations to the insect as it's being yanked back into the mouth, and yet this adhesive on the tongue is still able to maintain grip. >> reporter: noel's research to that sticky stuff, frog saliva began when she stumbled across a video what had gone viral. >> i actually ran across this really funny video of this bullfrog trying to eat insects off an iphone screen. of course they're fake insect s scrolling down ahilarious. how is this frog tongue so fast and sticky? how does it catch these insects in the blink of an eye. being a mecke car engineer, this is a really interesting adhesive question. >> reporter: noel hopes that understanding the mechanics of frog saliva could lead to the development of futuristic adhesives. and if that seems far-fetched, then welcome to the world of biomimicry, where scientists look to nature for innovations.

the shape of japan's bullet train, for instance, was inspired by the shape of a kingfisher's beak. these windmill blades were modeled after the fins of a humpback whale. but the most ubiquitous biologically inspired innovation of all might be in your closet. in 1941, swiss engineer george demestral went for a hike in the alps, and noticed the way burrs adhered to his evening. today the hook and loop fastening most of us know as velcro is used in thousands of products. >> it's actually a new way of inventing. and so chemists and designers and architects and engineers when they have a problem, they ask what in nature has already solved this problem. >> reporter: if there is one person to thank for the popularity of biomimicry, it would be janine benias.

>> you know, the core idea that life's been on earth 3.8 billion years, and that's a lot of r&d. >> reporter: she popularized the term two decades ago in her book. >> you know, nfl helmets are based on how the woodpecker's skull -- >> reporter: what? >> yeah, the woodpecker has a very particular skull. >> reporter: just spend some time with her at her home in montana and you get the sense nature has taught her to see the world a little differently. >> when i look at a tree, i think now that it's pretty amazing chemistry operation going on, right, silently. once you start thinking this way, you realize that nature is full of technologies, if you think of technologies as just tools for living. >> reporter: but while the scientific field might be new, there is nothing new about being inspired by nature. >> we need new ideas, you know. >> reporter: but what you're saying the newest ideas are the oldest ideas. >> that's --

>> reporter: and they've been there all along. >> exactly. >> reporter: but one estimate, biologically inspired innovations could contribute $425 billion to the country's gross domestic product by 2030. you put porky pine quills in your face? >> yeah, as an example. we like to do from time to time some self-experimentation and really get a sense for what it is that we're working with. >> reporter: it was porcupine quills that pointed scientist jeff carp towards a new design for a medical staple. >> so it was known at the time that quills have these backward-facing barbs. when you tried to remove the quill, the barb catches on the tissue fibers and then kind of displays out to the side. so it's even grabbing you more. and that's where it gets its incredible gripping force. so this gave us inspiration for gnaw staple. >> reporter: at his lab in boston's women and bringing brig ham's hospital, carp is creating new devices using some old

technology, very old technology. slug slime was a starting point for a medical glue that works in wet environments. this is incredibly strong. it's holding bone together. the way jellyfish tentacles fan out to ensnare plankton inspired a filter to capture cancer cells in blood. >> there is literally hundreds of millions of years of research and development that's happening all around us. and if a creature or a plant is not able to come up with a solution, then it becomes extinct. and so in essence, we're surrounded by solutions which i see as ideas for solving problems. >> can our technologies be as elegant and as graceful as those in the natural world? and if we hold ourselves to that standard, we literally take the natural world as our standard, it really ups our game.
