    Dang. I wish them well.

    "caravan" of Americans living with Type 1 diabetes made its way across the U.S. border into Canada over the weekend in search of affordable medical care in a country where they can get the "exact same" life-saving drugs for a dramatically lower price.

    "We're on a #CaravanToCanada because the USA charges astronomical prices for insulin that most people can't afford," tweeted caravan member Quinn Nystrom as she shared updates on the journey.

    Nystrom was among a group of Minnesotans who piled into cars on Friday to make the 600-mile journey from the Twin Cities to Fort Frances, Ontario, where she said insulin, the hormone patients with Type 1 Diabetes rely on to regulate their blood glucose levels, can be bought for a tenth of what it costs in the U.S.

    The caravan was organized as part of a campaign launched under the banner "#insulinforall" to call on the U.S. government to regulate the cost of life-saving drugs, including insulin, and make medication affordable for anyone who needs it.

    Yeah, that's complete bull . Type 1 is hard enough to manage without worrying about the price.

    This is why I don't want the Democrats focusing on the Dear Leader's obstruction of justice for 2020. The Democrats need to be focusing on things that really matter to people like drug prices and the robber barons in pharma profiting off of and sometimes creating American misery.

    How much does insulin cost per month without insurance, Darrin?

    Keeping in mind those with Type 1 have to take insulin their entire lives.

    wow.

    The caravan of Americans crossing the southern Canadian border to get the health care that they can't afford in the US weren't breaking any laws.

    Drive by link. The bare minimum.

    I guess it beats admitting our system is ed up and Democrat ideas on national health insurance are better than the non-ideas coming out of the Republican party though.

    Darrin loves to post links without putting anything in his own words
