People are dying because they can't afford their insulin. I applaud @SenatorBaldwin's efforts to cap the price of insulin - with no help from Ron Johnson. upnorthnewswi.com/2022/03/21…

Needs a funding source. Taxpayer debt is already overcommitted on all the should be causes, sadly.

Like tax breaks for the ultra rich, corporate subsidies, thousands more nuclear bombs, and profits for the military industrial complex.

In a country as rich as ours, withholding life/death medication for financial reasons is aka to a war crime. It's murder. Just a different type of homicide.

Free to who? Just the user? Then who will pay the cost for it to be free? Tax dollars? Rich people? You need a solution to go along with that ignorant idea.

Absolutely! I mean- there needs to be a total reform of medical costs BUT diabetes has ZERO cures. Only insulin as a treatment. At least with cancer I have “options” for treatment 😔. Diabetes is thousands of times worse in my opinion 😔. And it’s prohibitively expensive for all.

There’s that word again. Own your position, be honest, and simply say “tax payer funded.” “Free” is dishonest.

Senator Baldwin should demand #MedicareForAll vote to put an end to private insurance ruining our lives.

My God insulin in various forms had been around 70+ years. I think Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk can afford to lower its prices in light of the epidemic of diabetes ravaging this country.

Yes ... It should be free ... and if not ... perhaps a dollar!
