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.
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.
