@Radical_EgoCom This is Alex Smith. He died this year at age 26 because he couldn't afford insulin in America. He made $35,000 as a restaurant manager, and couldn't afford his $450 a month health insurance with a $7,600 out-of-pocket deductible. The insulin he needed for diabetes was $1,300 a month. When he turned 26 and was kicked off his mom's insurance, he started rationing his life-saving insulin. He died a month later. All this in the richest country in the world.
