Her sugar levels are probably high after eating like a pig on her paid 3 week vacation.

Apply for unemployment. Ask Dr. for samples. Rather poor insurance for a federal employee to have $300 copay—Obamacare?

.......................................................

My former employer is my insurer. $15 for Lantus (insulin), $5 for Pens (needles), $5 for Humalog (insulin)

She’s gotta be on ozerocare.

A lot of people live paycheck to paycheck, but they don’t resort to lying. Insulin is $29 a bottle at Wal-Mart. If she’s on the really expensive stuff, she can ask her doctor to switch her to the cheap stuff. Not as convenient as an insulin pen, but less inconvenient than ending up admitted to the hospital because she didn’t take any insulin. But, again, she’s probably lying.

At least she’s blaming “the government” , and not Trump.

She said she has 2 vials left.

The most expensive I could find was $190 per vial with a GoodRx coupon. It’s $300 list price. With Medicare it would be a $40 copay for up to 4 vials a month.

Sounds like a BS sob story to me.

Maybe she has a terrible sweet tooth and doses too much extra to compensate

Yep - another ObamaCare success story - also so fake my own blood sugar dropped due to truth starvation....no way a person who needs insulin to live will be denied it.....

It must be a hoax. I have Type 2 diabetes, and I can get insulin from the nearest Wal-Mart pharmacy for $25 a vial.
