Just learned today that Charles Booker has Type 1 diabetes, and has rationed insulin for cost reasons. Having someone with that perspective in the senate could be quite powerful. Nothing illustrates the failures of our healthcare system quite like the insulin crisis
I rationed my insulin so I could afford feed my daughters. It nearly killed me.
In a country as rich and powerful as the United States, that is a damn shame.
No person should have to make that decision.
