This is so wrong. So terribly, terribly wrong.

Standing behind an elderly woman at @cvspharmacy and she’s buying insulin. $1200. She’s visibly upset, and I’m trying not to cry also. Pharmacist says “well at least your insurance paid for over half bc the cash price is over $3000” HOW HAVE WE LET THEM CONVINCE US THIS IS OKAY?

I bet it costs less than a quarter of that amount for the Pharmaceutical Company to make it.

No American should ever be without free healthcare. Ever. This is more than a sad story. It is infuriating. If Dems weren’t so afraid of being called radical socialists by the GOP they would push for #MedicareForAll right now! Stop being afraid! Be BOLD! Go for it!

Why? Because the US Congress created the rise of the Russianesque Oligarchy to control everything everywhere. They can get rid of that problem with one piece of legislation and some. Give us our money back and get Democracy back into action. time.com/5888024/50-trillion…

Thank you Joe Biden. Under Trump, insulin was covered under "most favored nation" status. Biden is a pawn of big pharm.

That’s ridiculous. And for lifesaving meds. What’s the deal ? If u had minimal resistance, what pathway could be taken to minimize excessive profit taking by big pharma?

It is time to scream "Fuck You @POTUS and @VP. Fix this shit. For profit healthcare must go.... you heartless bastards."

In civilised countries, like over here in Germany, we have a healthcare for all system, funded by a statutory contribution system. So basically everyone is covered here. A guy called Otto von Bismarck started this system recently...in 1883! & yes, of course Insulin is free here
