@famousone will explain to you that you aren’t guaranteed equal pancreatic outcomes and you and only you need to work to better yourself and your endocrine system. It’s called individual responsibility, people. Corporations have the right to charge what the market will bear and no American has a god-given right to healthcare. Unless they are in the military, obviously.
If the FDA weren't charging 19 million to approve medicines and blacklisting competitors' products for a modest fee, more would be available from different suppliers. The ensuing competition would drive everyone's prices down.
The military does not have any God-given rights that the citizenry doesn't. Tricare is simply one of the benefits offered in exchange for waiving many of those rights and essentially entering into indentured servitude. It's also really convenient since the vast majority of acute injuries, complications, and enduring conditions are going to be directly related to my service.
I'm 19 and have permanent hearing loss/tinnitus, the cartilage in one of my knees is damaged, my lungs are getting damaged by smog, dust, and questionable fumes, I'm regularly exposed to carcinogenic substances in my work day, and if ever I'm ordered to charge a machinegun nest without any cover, concealment, or protection, all I can say is "ROGER, SARGE, I'M MOVING!".

Insulin is a 100 year old drug. Stop obfuscating. Do the execs and share holders drive Hyundais and used Toyota's? Or Bentlys and Merc's?
Don't look at what they're driving, look at how much they pay the feds to get their shit through the FDA. And how much more they pay to block competitors.

No I'll look where I want. You can't plead poverty from a $100k car. No more far right talking points.
Who is trying to plea poverty? Nothing I've said in this conversation is far right. Jesus H Christ, wanting to take cronyism out of medicine used to be considered pretty MODERATE LEFT. I'm literally calling national service, the PRIZED BABE OF EVERY RIGHT OF CENTER GROUP "indentured servitude". What the actual fuck is far right about anything I've said on this thread?

What the fuck is this?
