faggot-frank:noccor:annieisyourfavourite:gahdamnpunk:The rich are getting more rich thohis name was Josh Wilkerson and it’s important to point out that he died while taking Reli-On, the common “Walmart Insulin” you see people constantly pushing as a cheaper alternative.so if you ever see people suggesting this, or god forbid you feel like doing it yourself, i want you to look up this story and remember Josh Wilkerson, and realize that the solution HAS to be bigger and more systemic than thatHealth care is a right not a commodityI just want to point out that this headline makes it sound like the cause of Josh’s death was the insulin. The issue is not that the over the counter insulin will just miraculously kill you. Changing medications is always an ordeal, and the issue is that sometimes people struggle to find the right dosage. Especially with insulin and blood sugar levels being so damn finicky. Again I just want to emphasize that the killer here is the struggle to find the right dosage of a new insulin- not the insulin itself.Absolutely insulin prices are way too fucking high- and that needs to change- but diabetics don’t have any other reasonably priced choice right now. Please don’t try to imply that the Reli-On insulin is extremely dangerous to the point of death and scare people into either spending way more than they can afford or just making them fear for their life every time they take their insulin. -- source link
