Republicans offer no relief at all, while Democrats are bragging that they achieved a $35/mo cap on insulin for those over 65. Okay, let’s break that down. That would still be $420 a year, and half of America’s seniors live on less than $25,000 a year. There are over 3 million insulin users over age 65, so if you multiply the 3 million by $420 that’s still a sweet profit for the pharmaceutical companies each year. And the situation gets worse. There are another over 5 million Americans needing insulin who are UNDER 65. Many are rationing their insulin, choosing on any given month whether to buy their insulin or pay their rent. This does not happen in countries where there is universal healthcare…which includes every advanced democracy except ours. What kind of “free market”leaves millions of people living their lives imprisoned behind the invisible walls of economic hardship? Millions of Americans have been trained to expect too little, numbed by a chronic, gnawing state of low-grade need to simply accept what they are given. They receive so little, and deserve so much more. #MedicareForAll (Gee, I wonder why the DNC doesn’t want to hold debates...)

The economic moron can't fathom that the more government restricts the LESS we produce. If the market is restricted in price or we are taxed to subsidize it we ALL lose. Who is going to invest in a dying or restricted market? Why bother? Oil, drugs, it's all the same. Hard Pass

Yeah, can’t joe Biden just literally change that with executive orders? Can’t he just lower prices on all drugs?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Biden accomplished a huge reduction, which you as a marginalized loon could not even approach.

You are really clueless.

So, what magic are you going to use to make insulin free, Madam? How are you going to get Congress to vote for that, since you're so great. You're really a worthless POS,shitting on something hard won for the American people from your life as a millionaire.
