This reads like a puff piece somehow. At any rate fuck the health insurance industry, and if the product really is as good as presented here then it should be more broadly available.

Also, we'd be able to mix this stuff with drinking water and it would be fine to inject into someone's bloodstream? I could be very wrong but I don't think most drinking water is treated+packaged to that high of a standard. I suppose the hypothetical mentioned in the article also in case of severe blood loss, where getting literally anything into your veins that won't outright kill you is preferable to the alternative.
