A million Americans have to ration their insulin, while some make their way to Canada or Mexico to get it at a fraction of the cost they can get it here.
Check out this list of what insulin costs in the US compared to in other countries…

Pharmaceutical companies making billions of dollars’ profit on drugs whose development was subsidized by the US taxpayer - yet is not affordable to millions of people who need it - is not righteous profit.
It is institutionalized theft.

Every year 500,000 Americans go bankrupt because of medical bills; 85 million are uninsured or underinsured; & 68,000 die because they can't afford the healthcare they need.
Meanwhile the CEO's of the 10 largest health insurance companies make tens of millions of dollars a year.

The George Floyd Justice in Policing 2021 passed the Dem House, only failed in Senate because Manchin & Sinema wouldn't allow filibuster reform. I know what you mean; even that bill increased funding. But a broad brush on the issue of police reform isn't accurate. GOP MUCH worse.

The buying and selling of a democracy is the death of a democracy.
Billionaires and their Super PACs must not be able to buy Democratic Party primaries. If Democrats really believe in democracy and campaign finance reform, we must ban Super PACs in primaries. I stand with progressive reformers advocating for this change.
