If you are a diabetic living in England, you're able to get a vial of insulin for around $7. But if you're a diabetic here in the United States, you pay $98 for the EXACT SAME insulin?

the rx inhaler is $250. the nasal spray, which contains more, is $25. less for generic.
packaging is probably an extra $1.
a drug patent is a license to print money.

Wow, health care is expensive these days in the US and I have the version if healthcare that is just under what the government considers the Cadillac version.

5 years ago it was dry eye, and before that restless leg syndrome. Apparently they both were cured since I dont see their commercials any more.

Insulin costs have skyrocketed. Being on Medicare helps somewhat, but it's still too damn costly.

(94,527 posts)Never clear why tweets from progressive politicians to people who already agree get so much excitement here (nb: not limited to Sanders).

A politician uses his platform to call attention to seriously flawed policies and priorities and your response is:

dpibel
(2,831 posts)How is it that you, oh wise one, know to whom the message is transmitted?
What platform should he use, in your humble opinion?
What, pray tell, is he doing that you would do so much better?
brooklynite
(94,527 posts)Simple question: name someone on Twitter that you profoundly disagree with whom you nonetheless follow regularly.
Reality is that almost everyone rejects being challenged in their beliefs and opinions and gravitates to sources they already agree with.
