@VeroniqueB99 A photo of Alex Smith, who died at age 26 in 2017 because he couldn't afford insulin. Text below the photo details that he earned $35,000 annually as a restaurant manager, but couldn't afford his health insurance with a high deductible, and his insulin cost $1300 monthly. He rationed his insulin after losing his mother's insurance and died a month later.

Angela Collier did a vid about the isolating and development of Insulin as a treatment.
It's called "Who Gets The Nobel Prize".

No, healthcare is *not* better in North Korea than in USA.
But in Cuba it is on-par and available. Life expectancy is at 78 years in both countries.
@VeroniqueB99 @enoch_exe_inc @alex_mastodon Still, sanctions against the import of vital medical (and agricultural) supplies and equipment has hampered North Korea’s healthcare system to the point where lifesaving procedures cannot be safely performed in certain months of the year, particularly the winter.
And that’s just…messed up. Look, all technology is dual use. My chair is as good for sitting on as it is for bashing someone over the head. This madness has to stop.
...no argument from me...! 👍
