@mngrif I know this feeling so very well. I have had more notices of service discontinuation than I have had doctor visits in the last 8 months. Best of luck! 🤞

@freemo @design_RG if you trust The Verge (science) as a news source, they had a recent video discussing insulin the briefly speaks about the patent case. (On mobile, timestamp 2:35)

I am by no means an expert, this video explained a few topics in layman.

@freemo @design_RG absolutely. But like media copyright laws, we need reform to common sense laws that protect the people before the corporations.

@design_RG @freemo insulin costs have tripled in the last decade. No generics are available due to decisions made by politicians.

@design_RG @freemo this topic has a lot to do with patents and Congress continuing to allow them. There's good info out there on what is causing a lot of these issues.

If we moderate the medical market we're evil socialist demon monsters. People are dying, but corporate profits sure aren't!

Fair, free, and equal access to information is a Hallmark of democracy. Every barrier put in the way of a population's access should be seen as an attack on civil liberties.

@freemo keeping you busy explaining these tired troll tropes is part of the political agenda. Getting regular citizens to actually believe these things... That's the work of magicians.

@design_RG you've nailed it. Lobbying has turned the political system into a farce. A majority of politicians routinely sell their votes to the highest bidder and then try to convince their constituents that they voted for them.

2020 might be the beginning, but it will most certainly not be the end.

Insurance organizations should not be allowed to deny a medication prescribed by an established physician. The US healthcare system needs significant reform.

@design_RG Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I will be adding that to my reading list as it sounds right for me. 👍

A nightmare: all of my drawer handles are loose and no matter how hard I try I can't fix them.
