Diabetes,2 is increasing in the US.

llinois is the second state to cap payout for
diabetic medication insulin to $100 yr.

This is a good thing for people, who can't hardly afford their medication.

USA Medical and pharmacies are bankrupting some people.

Any medicine that people need to live should be either free or capped at an affordable price.

Yeah and food should be free.
Hospitals should be free.
Housing should be free.
Education should be free.
Screw it, why not just go the distance...
Money should be free.

A medical service like we have in the UK should not be beyond the capacity of the U.S. to implement.

The different demographics probably has a lot to do with it.

Possibly, or perhaps the pharmaceutical companies have lots of lobbyists?

What's sad is when people who have good insurance coverage is not simpathetic to people, who don't have Any.

No I don't think everything should be Free!

Most people with type2 diabetes can control it thru diet and life style and there is also other medications to help control it. People with type1 need insulin, but people unwilling to do things about type2 diabetes are driving up demand and price, and yes the pharmaceutical companies do abuse the system, but you can't really blame them for not wanting to make drugs they are not going to make money off from, that money is needed to make new drugs to help other problems. Anyone can buy the a monitor to check there sugar level on a regular basis for less than $30. If people would start monitoring their own health early on perhaps we could control many more health concerns. What concerns me most about the big drug companies is the targeting of people to make them believe they need all these drugs, and such things as old people with ED
should be covered to get Viagra or whatever else to have sex, to me there is a reason why nature has made this happen and if they want to have sex they should pay for their own medication and not have it paid for by the government or insurance that others pay for.

I almost forgot to mention the large number if cats and dogs on insulin now. It like Avacados, when something becomes popular everybody seems to get onboard. Pets use "human" insulin and more and more pets are being diagnosed with diabetes, easiest way to fix it? You got it, just give them 2 shots of insulin everyday, after all our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such.

If a man doesn't have ED he doesn't have to worry about functioning for sex right? If he did have it , he may want insurance to pay for it. It's a medical condition not Only in Old men. But some younger than 50.

I believe pets are part of some people's family and should definitely be cared for, whatever they need medically.
