I'm on Lantus and Humalog, which both have gone through the roof. I lost my employment and benefits in March, and the out of pocket is absurd.

It's scary that such a situation could exist in the United States, where many are struggling to put food on the table or pay the rent.

This is not about medication for itchy, watery eyes, guys. This is life and death stuff for many, many people, but it appears Gordon Gecko is running the pharmaceutical industry as everywhere else. Sickening.
