No greater immorality than for a profit-based health care system to require that people die rather than upset their economic model.
Daily reminder that in almost every country on Earth, insulin is free to diabetic patients bc we die without it. In the United States, insulin is priced around $10,000 a year and the price increases annually. Can’t afford it? You’re left to die, quickly and painfully.

Why did Biden reverse Trump's reduction of insulin prices for Community Health centers that ser ver the poor on day one? Why did Biden reverse Trump's mandate that Drug Cos not charge more in US than EU? We know....Biden got the Big bucks from Big Pharma. Big Pharma hated Trump

Sounding passionate always makes oneself feel great. But how many people have died in this country for lack of insulin? People'd die without food. Should we also make food free? In 1958-59, China's farmers ate free in communist experiment. Then 30+ millions died of starvation.

A better model may be to let government own IP, but contract out every step in drug discovery/manufacturing process, creating competition at every level. Of course private investment would disappear if IP ownership weren't protected. Have to be replaced by taxes.

Get this, Medicare will pay $90k/yr per patient for indefinite dialysis treatments but if you get a transplant, after 3 yrs they revoke ur insurance leaving u to pay for the costly lifelong anti-rejection meds which is why many end up back on dialysis..they can't afford them!😡

Do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny.

That is absolutely the case! In Canada we do not have to live with that criminality.
