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...)

@POTUS, President Biden, is already working on capping insulin for EVERYONE..
Huge news. Last year, we capped insulin prices for seniors on Medicare, but there was more work to do. I called on Congress – and manufacturers – to lower insulin prices for everyone else. Today, Eli Lilly is heeding my call. Others should follow.
What a takedown of the #BidenHype. Expect now a torrent of smears directed at @marwilliamson from Democrats.

Your pie in the sky proposals that you couldn't get through congress in a million years? Yeah real compelling. Lady, they would chew you up and spit you out.

What Democrats did was offer temporary help for some people, while bailing out the big banks

Because most corporate Politicians take bribes or campaign money so they owe the rich & corporate America favors & is why M4A never gets passed. They need to be removed from office & the Supreme Court crooked justices need to be removed also!

Why are you still paying for a blue check and also why are you cozying up to right-winger Vivek? You seem like you're a fraud in every way imaginable Marianne.
