I reblogged this yesterday, but I want to reblog it again. Diabetic ketoacidosis turns your blood acidic and will essentially burn you from the inside out.
The stories you hear of people dying from rationing, this is what happens to their body.
Affordable insulin isn’t just a right, it’s a necessity.
No one should have to die like that when it’s preventable with access to proper medication.
"Affordable" should be the lowest fucking bar. Pharmaceutical companies should be tripping over themselves to offer insulin at "affordable". That shit deserves to be fucking free
THIS! And it’s everything! A inhaler is like, 100$ any medical treatment will put you out of house if you’re not middle class at LEAST (and even then you’ll have to budget for the next year) Pills for any personality disorders. (Schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar)
All of it put extremely expensive for ‘research funding’ when the majority of the ‘research’ is- “WE NEED TO SLIGHTLY CHANGE THE RECIPE SO WE CAN KEEP THE MEDICINE AT A HIGH PRICE! Quick! Put sand in the inhaler!
(They don’t put sand but whatever they changed in the inhalers in 2024 had my mom going into coughing fits because of some sort of build up from what was in her 100$ inhalers… great marketing strategy! Make it so the ONLY fix for a medical problem agitates the problem further! Genius! Why didn’t I think of that!?!??
