BUT BUT BIGPHARMA

 

Now now, if diabetics get low cost insulin they will be demanding meals of sweet babies like the Democrats feast on. It will only lead to worse.

 

imagine if dems were as good a pushing agendas as the GOP? They'd have this vote on blast on all networks 24/7 until midterms. We know who greases their pockets though.

 

Just proof that the republicans are phony populists. They grab onto issues to make headlines or pretend they are for everyday Americans but they’re really not. They’re for the rich and huge corporations at the end of the day.

 

Insulin is manufactured for profit in Colombia, being a 100 year old drug really despite all these bullshit new patents and its $5.54 a shot.

35 bucks is still a rip-off.

This is why we are getting swamped in poor and stupid Republican/Libertarian with a large "A" medical refugees.

 

Going to bump this again to remind right wingers that attacking Disney isn’t for the people, cutting insulin prices is.

Caps are almost never a good thing. It's a massive slippery slope.

 

It's good politics but these issues shouldn't be handled piecemeal.

 

Like golf, handicaps are a slippery slope to Marxism. No point in looking at a massive outlier public health crisis as Ayn Rand's imaginary hero says fuck 'em.
