    It’s worse. They put money above the life of other humans. Type 1 diabetics literally cannot live without insulin… Not for very long at least (days at most).

    And it’s not a nice death either. Anyone who has seen, first hand, the effects of diabetic ketoacidosis, can confirm.

      We see pictures all the time of dafties walking about with signs in the US protesting all sorts of inane, brain-damaged shite

      How the fuck are yous not standing outside these evil fuckers’ houses with signs?

      “This evil cunt chose to kill diabetics because some evil cunt gave him cash. Let’s hang him from a fucking tree, he’s an absolute cancer on society”

      How are yous just sitting back and watching?!?

        I’m not doing shit because I’m not an American.

        Thank fuck for that. This shit is goddamned embarrassing.

        I think my country just passed a law saying that our national healthcare system would cover insulin and diabetic equipment. I don’t have all the details, but the fact that it took this long to do is pretty fucking embarrassing in and of itself.

        That being said, at least we got there. The USA can’t even agree to not bankrupt people for having a very manageable condition (with proper medication at least).
