    I’m lucky enough to not be on regular medication anymore, but some of my as-needed meds cost $140 without insurance. It’s pretty steep.

    Layoffs are a thing. Do people just die if they can’t afford their meds? I know several people who are staying in their soul crushing jobs because of the benefits. Precarious contract work and part time workers don’t get benefits.

    We need pharmacare for all.

      I think, in America, people just go without. It’s disheartening.
