There MUST be SOMETHING we can DO for the diabetic intended victims of these psychopaths!

As far as the Republican Fascist are concerned it will be good riddance. Got to protect those profits.

This might backfire on them this November if we let them know about it. The party of complaining about inflation won't do the bare minimum to control inflation.

According to WaPo, we got the insulin price cap for Medicare patients but lost it for private insurance. It's a good idea to let seniors know about this for the election.

Surprised to see Hawley not on this list. He caught a ton of heat for his vote against the Pact Act so he changed his vote. Maybe that factored in and also he is running in 2024 again so the attack ads would be against him.

FYI. Still think Hawley does not care about Veterans at all.

7 R's crossed over to vote with Dems, but 43 voted no.

I can look it up easy enough, but the tweet is incorrect.

edit... ok, it looks like there were names above blount and marshall that were cut off...

For diabetics, who depend on insulin, Republicans want you to die sooner.

But before that happens, they don't care if you go blind, have a foot cut off, keep families together by making forcing caregivers out of them.

those who voted to deny that recent vets toxin bill? I bet it looks a lot like this one. Which shows that they are not doing anything that their constituents want, they are doing what they want. This should also be on every TV screen in America!

I've had two cousins die in the last ten years due to not being able to afford insulin.

Maybe more. I had a lot of cousins and don't try to keep in touch with all of them.

Oh, I remember another cousin who died due to not being able to afford insulin.

They're all women and all died before they reached 55.

now for my son’s insulin and other overpriced diabetes supplies and it’s growing old. My contempt for these rotten pricks is unmeasurable. But at the same time we’re encouraged to see the awareness and political pressure picking up steam.

to facilitate the early death. And that asshat Palin had the nerve to say Obamacare had death panels. As Mike Malloy would say,, "Did I say today how much I hate these people?"
