Dont forget he was just 50$ short

no, unfortunately - that was Shane Patrick Boyle. that there are multiple people dying because fucking insulin is priced too high is immoral.
from the article: “Even with insurance, some Americans are spending around half their income on insulin and other supplies. In fact, price gouging from Eli Lilly and other insulin manufacturers has already had deadly consequences. Shane Patrick Boyle, a founder of Zine Fest Houston, died on March 18 after his GoFundMe campaign to pay for insulin came up $50 short. Alec Raeshawn Smith, age 26, was found dead in his apartment on June 27. He was rationing his insulin after he aged out of his parent’s insurance coverage. The sad fact is more people would be alive today if insulin was affordable for all Americans.” x

things that i have stated multiple times this year: if you argue against universal healthcare, no matter your reason, you need to acknowledge that you argue that it’s okay for people to die of preventable/treatable illnesses.
