Americans pay more for insulin than any other developed country

[ooky]

11. Thank you for your post. My son is type 1 so this is personal for me.

He was diagnosed at age 6 and is 32 now, so I have been navigating insulin costs for a long time. It's criminal. Even with health insurance, diabetes is a financial drain that he can't afford to pay it all by himself so we have to help him. More and more employer health insurance plans have big copays, and the insulin isn't the only high cost we have to deal with. He had to replace his insulin pump this year and we had $3700 out of pocket for the $7500 pump. Fortunately I've been in financial position to help him with these outrageous costs but I do not see how many people can survive this diagnosis financially. My blood boils over when I see Trump standing up lying about how he has reduced the cost of insulin. God I hate that man's guts.

If we sweep the elections we need immediate, compassionate legislation to provide financial relief to people and families who are dealing with this awful situation.
