She is right 💯

You can’t imagine how hard it is to live with your stepmom. She’s ten years older, but you wouldn’t say that by the way she looks. I’m trying to keep my distance, but it’s not quite working out…

About 100 years ago Dr. Frederick Banting, who invented the insulin, said "Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world," yet these American Pharm keep fccccking with people. To put it in perspective, one vial of insulin is about $300 without insurance. On average a type 1 diabetic will go through about 2-3 vials a month, so 36 vials a year. 36 x 300= $10,800. Not to mention syringes, pump sites, pump supplies, testing meter and equipment, etc Our lives shouldn't have such a high price tag. We didn't choose to have this ilness and this medication isn't optional. So either $10k+ a year or we get very sick or die.

This mother used virtual reality technology to meet her daughter who passed away

If insulin, discovered over a century ago, is still out of reach for many, what does that say about our progress. For how long we keep prioritising profit over health >>

This breaks my heart, no one should be made to feel this way about themselves 💔

free health care should be worldwide.

No parent should experience this ever!

This mother lost her daughter because her insulin was too expensive

Insulin is old medicine that's cheap to make. These drug companies are killing us one life saving patent at a time.

Healthcare is a joke to them... sad to see this
