This is pretty upsetting, having family with type one (genetic, body does not create insulin at all) diabetes. The fact is more than 1 in 4 insulin users will never not need insulin no matter how much weight they lose, and even among t2 diabetics, many will never not have t2 diabetes because it has a huge genetic component as well.
Without insurance their insulin would cost $950 a month.
That only happened because the USSR was there to point to. We're done with that era of capitalism.
Oh for sure, the presence of the USSR was a huge factor in that as I said and yeah, no way that's coming back.
I hope USSR will come back.
Unfortunately I am pretty sure Russia's current govt would co-opt any sort of desire for a return to the USSR and essentially kill off any genuine left wing project.
There is also a possibility of something like the July Monarchy. Its coat of arms is really something.
Modern succdems are either small and insignificant fringe groups with no possible way of realising their policy or they are psychotic power-hungry liberal ghouls with a folkish branding strategy and a red banner somewhere in the corner.
