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...)

It’s so easy to cast aspersions. What have you done for seniors, sold them a load of crap in your woo woo books? You’re not fit to be president. We’re fighting against republican fascism. The last thing we need is you helping republicans win.

And you wouldn't be able to do a damn bit better. It takes Congress to change those prices. The President just signs it.

Let’s start with that shocking $164.20 a month Premium for Medicare first. And no one is protesting this. And on and on.

Biden also starved insulin users of insulin for months to take credit for the cap, lol
