With the amount of money I spend on #T1D every year I could afford to buy 12+ gaming systems.
And that doesn’t include the 10k I spent on my broken thumb due to a low.
Bernie at the Senate hearing on insulin and pharmaceutical prices
Drug manufacturer Eli Lilly announced that it will cap the monthly out-of-pocket cost to patients of a prescription for insulin at $35 a month. #insulin4all #insulin
How about a damn *refund* from Eli Lilly for the $324,000 I’ve spent on insulin in the last 30 years staying alive. You could have dropped the price anytime you vultures. #Insulin4all #t1d yes it should be free. Miss me with your libertarian bs - this is why we have a society.
@ivan when insulin costs $10 a bottle but sells for $300, o reserve the right to call that corporate greed. When they decide to lower the price to $35 (because they totally can) but then call this lowering a “market growth opportunity” that’s greed. It’s also capitalism. The problem is both, but 300-400% markup is just selfish. #Insulin4All
So #EliLilly was able to magically drop the price of #Humalog from $274 to $66. This proves the cost of #insulin was never about recouping costs; rather, it was pure greed. This company saw the writing on the wall because so many spoke out and didn’t stop speaking. #Insulin4all
Only takeaway for me on this $35 insulin story is that the price was high for no reason other than corporate greed. Insulin was always supposed to be free. “Insulin belongs to the world, not to me.” - Banting, inventor of insulin #Insulin4All
"Eli Lilly will cap the out-of-pocket cost of its insulin at $35 a month"
"The change, which Eli Lilly said takes effect immediately, puts the drugmaker in line with a provision in the Inflation Reduction Act, which in January imposed a $35 monthly cap on the out-of-pocket cost of insulin for seniors enrolled in Medicare."
A direct result of competent government action.
This is a B. F. D. of the highest order.

This article describes one of my biggest concerns with the #TwitterMigration. Can #Mastodon replicate this type of advocacy and public awareness? I certainly hope it can but it will only happen if enough media and general users make their way here.
This person paid only $15 for a refill of insulin, instead of the full $2788,10. For a live-saving drug, these prices are insane. I cannot imagine how it must've been to pay around a month's salary for a single refill of insulin...
Luckily, change is being made. Finally. #insulin4all

For my birthday, I’m raising funds for Insulin For Life USA, with a fun twist: for every donation of $20 or more, I’ll record a karaoke video of any song you want, no matter how embarrassing!
As a #Type1 #diabetic, this cause means a lot to me. IFL-USA gives #insulin and supplies to people with #Diabetes who can’t afford the outrageous prices. So help me support a great cause while humiliating myself on social media! #insulin4all #t1d

@QasimRashid even those of us on Medicare or another insurance with affordable insulin prices are at risk so long as insulin is priced so high.
A broken vial, an ineffective vial, your prescriber dropping the ball on refills, and any other number of everyday mistakes can mean you're stuck between paying full price, switching to another insulin that works completely differently, or trying to go without until the problem is solved.

At least Mark Cuban is being honest when he says he'll still make money on the insulin he eventually carries. We'll all just have to wait and see.
