My Mother Took Insulin Four Times A Day

Lindsey Graham on CSPAN: “ The Democrats are trying to attack us over this insulin thing. But next time you’re in a long line at the grocery, ask yourself: is it REALLY a good thing for more people to have life-saving medication? I thought liberals said we’re overpopulated.”

In the last year of her life the price jumped. Fortunately she could afford it. I have no idea if the price rose and fell since she died.  But she died in 2018, and apparently the price is still high.

In the United States, insulin costs over $98 per unit, whereas the rest of the world it costs less than $10. The medication keeps many people alive.

Sen. Chuck Grassley has been complaining about the price of insulin since 2019, so I guess nothing has changed. He’s also done nothing about it, but that’s beside my point.

Here are the mcconnell republican senators who just killed capping insulin at $35. Republicans told millions of Americans who use insulin to go to hell. Remember their names. pic.twitter.com/NyovYZyabr

Our healthcare system isn’t broken. It’s been ground into dust.
