You know, I remember before Trump won in 2016, I had a friend who I met with shortly before the election. We had both voted early, her for Hillary and me for Trump. I listened to her arguments for why she was voting for Hillary and it all centered around health care concerns, as her husband had a pretty serious pre-existing condition that was causing her all sorts of concern over the loss of Obamacare. I tried to explain to her that Trump had such great plans for how to fix our insurance but she just wouldn't listen.
I find it so ironic that one of Biden's first orders of business was to ensure that life-saving medications like insulin and epipens could be priced as high as possible. This woman's prescription cost went up 730% overnight, for a medication that her son literally cannot live without.
I have asthma and have a rescue inhaler. For a long time I didn't have insurance and couldn't afford the $1200 a month for Obamacare's $15000 deductible shitty plan. One day, they "reformulated" the prescription for my rescue inhaler so they could eliminate the cheap generics, so the price went from $5 an inhaler to $75+ an inhaler, for a medication I needed every month. Not the same amount as this poor mom, but similar percentage increase -- there is nothing so awful as trying to decide if you are going to breathe or eat this month. I can only imagine it is a billion times worse when it is your kid suffering and not you.
She's right -- we need to be mad and take that anger and turn it into ACTION. WE THE PEOPLE need to stand up and say no more!
In my state we have a cap on insulin prices; and my sister gets a discount through insurance. So when I presented this information to her, she simply shrugged because it doesn't affect her directly. Tried to send her another link via text but she never responded. My mom and her husband seem to be the only ones who are awake right now in my family...
The lefty's I know would be like "well under Trump blahblahblahblah how the undocumented felt when they blahblahblah"
And it wouldn't change their minds until it reached out and touched someone they know or love. Even then, they'd find the wrong scapegoat because...I think most of them are legit retarded.

Glad her family can absorb that ridiculous price hike but what about those who can’t??
