The repubs just voted to let Americans die…

Well…just when you think that the repubs can’t be any worse people, they dig deeper and become even bigger assholes. Just last night, as the voting goes on about the huge inflation control bill, an amendment was put forward by the dems that would cap the cost of insulin at 35 bucks a month for anyone with private insurance…and guess how many repubs voted against it and for killing Americans who can’t afford the thousand bucks a month that insulin can cost? Yep…47 of them…47 repub senators think that it is just peachy that insulin that costs 5 bucks to make can cost so much that diabetics have to choose between eating and their life saving medicine…and at those costs, many, many diabetics report having to take less than prescribed since it just costs so damn much…but the repubs don’t care and the only reason they voted against it is that the won’t give Biden a “win” by helping people stay alive…they are perfectly okay with people dying just to spite the dems…what a bunch of assholes…that’s the only word for it…vote dem this fall and let’s get some good stuff done for the country…and cap the cost of insulin if we can keep congress…vote…
