      Biden earned my vote with those reforms and by capping the price on insulin. People don’t realize how many millions of diabetics who are working poor and massively fucked by the manufacturers - they can literally set whatever price they want, because it’s peoples fucking lives otherwise.

      mind boggling. and these whiny so-called progressives that are going to put trump back in power? guh

        Oh yeah. Having someone come into the Urgent Care or ED because of a tightness in the chest and shortness of breath because they had to choose between buying insulin and an asthma rescue inhaler this month.

        There are also lots, and I do mean lots, of hospital beds taken up by uncontrolled diabetes. Some of it is flagrant “I don’t want to” in re to eating right and checking blood sugars, but the other half really is people who want to do their best with this trying diagnosis but cannot afford the test strips and medication every month so they ration out things that should never be rationed out or simply go without. There’s a ripple effect across all of heath care access with the fallout from it.
