I Stood in the Pharmacy for 10 Minutes… Still Walked Away Without Insulin

I’m a diabetic immigrant mom. I work legally, pay taxes, don’t ask for extra help. Last week I went to pick up my insulin. The cashier told me: “Your insurance doesn’t cover this brand anymore.” The total popped up: $289. I had $240 in my account. I stood there for 10 minutes, frozen. A man next to me said, “If you can’t afford insulin, maybe go back to your country.” Do people think we want to struggle? Do they know some of us are literally risking our lives because of healthcare costs? #InsulinCrisis #HealthcareCosts #ImmigrantLife #AmericaToday
