This is part of my story I’ve never told. Staying alive costs us everything and it shouldn’t be this way.
The human cost of insulin in America

On my 10th grade field trip to New York, I accidentally drank an entire full sugar orange soda (and didn’t take insulin for it) and literally no one looked or cared that 16 year old me was puking on the sidewalk at 11 in the morning. Love that about New York!.
i love new york i just threw up on the sidewalk at 10:45 am and nobody did anything.

Truth right here. I bought Betty new in 2021. 115,000 miles and at least 5 incidents later, she runs great, has never had a major issue, and the duct tape is holding her bumper on just fine, thank you!. Highly recommend a Toyota Corolla.

This would all be great if Civica actually produced insulin by 2024 as promised. To date, @CivicaRx has never produced insulin for sale, has zero FDA approvals, and comes off as a Ponzi scheme for states to funnel money through while diabetics continue to ration insulin and die.
📢 Big news from Petersburg, VA!. Breakthrough T1D’s Chief Global Advocacy Officer Lynn Starr joined Governor Glenn Youngkin, @CivicaRx, and other Virginia leaders to celebrate a $3 million grant from the Commonwealth supporting affordable insulin production. Lynn shared her

This is why insurance is not the answer to high drug prices. Drug price regulation is.
“I need someone to explain to me like I am 5 years old how it makes sense that a literal doctor… prescribed my son a life saving medication that he needs for a diagnosis that he has received, and my insurance gets to say, ‘No he does not’.”. Why is this even allowed???? 🤔

Insulin should be freely and readily available to diabetics at cost. $100 for a year’s supply. Fuck PhRMA’s profits & fuck health insurers even being involved. We need insulin 24/7/365 to survive. Profiting from something we buy or die is immoral and should be unlawful.

I lived, y’all.
Tomorrow I have to have two teeth extracted and I would literally rather d!e than go through with it. Some people fear airplanes, some heights, I fucking fear and hate dental work with every bit of my soul.
