Clarification
This Monday’s episode (6/3) was awesome!!
David Leonhardt
Love Molly, but not Leonhardt. He’s one of the reasons I cancelled my NYT subscription. Not that I’m resisting to criticism of Biden, but we’re past that now. If I wanted to hear this info, I can simply look on line where Trumpers are bombarding social media. Maybe he should go work at Fox or some other right wing rag.
Truth about insulin cost, politicians claim untrue
I’m 40 years type 1 diabetic, insulin dependent. What I’m telling you is a fact. I or anyone can go into Walmart pharmacy (for the last ten years) buy a vial of insulin, no prescription, no doctor, no insurance (please pay attention now) for $24. Anytime during the last 10 years. No insurance, no doctor, no prescription, voila. Thus, the hoopla about reducing insulin costs is ? Please let me know you’ve received and understand my communication, Appreciatively, Marco the tucson cowboy
