ALSO! if you want to know why some of them think that this decision is okay and the so-called “reasoning” behind their votes, here is one guy in particular you can hate:
Twelve House Republicans broke party ranks to vote on a bill that would cap insulin at $35 per month for most Americans. Gaetz voted "no."
Some high-level ignorance in the notes, so:
1) lifesaving medicine should be free to all who need it
2) insulin is not expensive to produce
3) people with type 1 diabetes, a genetic autoimmune disorder and nothing to do with diet and/or lifestyle, need insulin daily to live, regardless of their diet and/or lifestyle.
4) weight loss can help many patients with type 2 diabetes manage their disease, but it is not a cure and does not help everyone
5) fat people deserve to live
6) The Insulin patent was sold for $1 by the inventor to the University of Toronto in 1923, because they believed it was unethical to profit off of life saving meds.
