Diabetes disproportionately affects black people. They are sometimes the least able to afford insulin. I volunteer at a free clinic, and often see patients with serious, preventable complications because they could not afford insulin, prior to Trump’s changes.

Of course he is. That’s why he tore Trump’s EO, in the matter, up.

WE’ve never had a tyrant in the Oval Office but have certainly had our share of despot wannabes and screw-ups.

I wonder how long before the masses of sheople realize they been conned yet again.

Perhaps as the camp gates slam behind them, they will have an epiphany.. a little late maybe but..

FauXChi makes Hannibal Lecter look like a nice guy when it comes to his ghoulish nature, someone you would enjoy going out to dinner with, just don’t stick around if he orders chianti.

How about having real free trade so people can legally buy medication from foreign sources? I’d like three months of insulin, a big bottle of horse dewormer and some malaria medication for all of those globull warming mosquitoes.

Not downgrade any illness or treatment but, look at the price at the pump and my grocery bill has gone through the roof, my coffee cream alone has gone $1 in the past 3 weeks. This is insanity!

Trump fought to being insulin prices down. But the ads for the 2020 election said that he was going to RAISE insulin proces, with the usual sob story actor pedding fear porn.

“Heather Bresch, Joe Manchin’s Daughter, Played Direct Part in EpiPen Price Inflation Scandal

Heather Bresch, the former president and CEO of the drugmaker Mylan, worked directly with the CEO of Pfizer to keep prices of the company’s EpiPen product artificially high, according to new documents released as part of an ongoing lawsuit.

The documents also show Bresch approving a scheme to force customers, captured by the company’s monopoly, to purchase two EpiPens at once, regardless of medical need. The EpiPen is an auto-injectable device that injects epinephrine into the body and can be the difference between life or death for a person suffering a severe allergic reaction”

My wife is Type 1 insulin dependent diabetic. Our double insurance coverage from our employers has allowed her to enjoy having a TSlim2 pump and Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor. The pump and monitor work together as a fairly effective artificial pancreas. You still have to carefully control food input, manually check ketones and replace the "consumables" on a strict schedule. The infusion site changes every 3 days. CGM sensor every 10 days. CGM transmitter every 6 months. She had a DKA in August 2019. $100,000 in hospital costs with tonic/clonic seizures, ambulance transport, ER diagnosis, days of ICU. The pump came AFTER that incident. Another seizure Feb 2020. Diagnosed epileptic...on anticonvulsants. Six month prohibited from driving. I had driving duties 100% for 6 months.

Recently, my wife's employer changed insurance carrier. The new carrier did not cover the insulin that she had been using successfully. The pharmacy presented a bill for $300 for a week of insulin. A call to the carrier allowed identification of what the do cover. The prescription was updated. Fully covered again, but the new insulin is less effective. It has taken months to dial it in again.

The advent of the vax mandates may drive both my wife and myself to exit employment and retire. The increased insulin costs are going to have an impact. I had planned to work another year. My employment is not worth being forced to take the clot shot.

They simply do not care about people and their health.

It’s all about money.
