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...)

Let's break down your reparations platform
Marrianne Williamson Reparations platform in 2019 was giving Black Americans $200-500 billion dollars over 20 years. Black Americans in 2019: 48.2 million $500B➗48.2M🟰$10,373 $10,373➗20🟰$518.67 a year

What do you think you're actually going to accomplish ma'am?

Didn’t Trump do something with insulin only to have Biden reverse it through EO so he could basically turn around and do the same thing as Trump did and get more accolades? 🤔

Why don’t you use your influence to create a non for profit pharmaceutical company that would keep costs down. Let’s be honest, you are not going to get the nomination this time around and if you succeed with the drug company it would give you more leverage on the next election.

Really, the cap should apply to EVERYONE. The "achievements" they keep bragging about are 💩. Like when they brag about "creating jobs". But what kind of jobs? Crappy ones. Oh, but it's better than the Republicans. This game is old...

And how would you change it without a supermajority in Congress? You couldn’t. And your bad faith arguments that this is what Democrats want, rather than all they were able to incredibly pass with a slim majority, is fucking gaslighting. Pure and simple.

Even Bernie doesn't want you or little kennedy.

Marianne, Neither does the failed prez who still owes the 👫$600! It is shameful how he's ignoring all the 👫 he's impoverishing and making homeless. He could have cured poverty and homelessness in Amerikkka several times with all the billions he's thrown at Ukraine Nazis.
