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...)

Eli Lilly pharmaceutical company capped the price on their insulin for all. No politicians needed.

Solution: Stop protecting the patents. Allow anyone to manufacture insulin.

Hit the nail on the head with this one. “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.”

45 DID address Insulin pricing by EO & 46 delayed its implementation TWICE ; then quietly, very very quietly, got rid of it altogether. Pls become better informed in issues; your reflexive Dem Loyalist filter occludes on critical issues. Link below

Biden sucks. Democrats suck. Republicans suck.

You’re making the GOOD the enemy of the perfect. This is why you’re not a viable candidate!

Marianne: Please know now—in advance—that while we support you and will vote for you, if you’re being used to simply capture us with all your progressive positions in order to later tell us (the captured) to vote for Biden, WE. ARE. NOT. VOTING. BIDEN. So don’t you dare!

The fact the DNC isn’t holding debates should be screamed from the rooftops. I am begging you @marwilliamson, mention that Bidens campaign is scared to debate you in campaign ads.
