Friend, My grandmother, my uncle and my mother all died of diabetes, so I am acutely aware of the need for insulin. Republicans offer no relief at all, while Democrats are bragging that they achieved a $35 per month cap on insulin for people 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 there’s more.
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.
