I had to pay money for my insulin today, normally I get it for free but the doctor didn't tick a certain box on the scripts.

It was $15.

$7.50 for 5 boxes of short acting, with 5 viles in each box, and $7.50 for the same amount of long acting.

And I'm talking Australian dollars, in American dollars that would be $9.70 instead of $15 with today's exchange rate.

Whenever I get my insulin I'm always thinking about American diabetics and how much of a struggle it must be.

And how Americans pay higher taxes for healthcare than any other country but all the money they pay just gets given to pharmaceutical companies with no strings attached instead of paying for the medicine like every other country that has subsidized healthcare
