Corey Baker+Followinsulin prices are a nightmareEvery time Americans open their insulin bill, their hearts sink. In other countries, this life-saving drug costs a few dollars; in the U.S., it can be hundreds per vial. Families ration doses, skip meals, and sometimes gamble with life. I spoke with a mother in Ohio. Her teenage son has diabetes. She said some months she has to choose between groceries or insulin. It’s not a joke—her family literally faces life-and-death decisions because the company’s profits matter more than children’s survival. This is the dark side of U.S. healthcare. The system allows corporate greed to dictate who lives and who suffers. #HealthHacks #PharmaTruths #DrugPricing 31Share
Corey Baker+Followthe statin price trap Statins are supposed to prevent heart attacks. But in the U.S., the same pill can cost ten times more at one pharmacy than another. Insurance often forces brand switches, leaving patients dizzy and anxious. A 52-year-old man in Texas told me he spent days navigating coverage for his cholesterol medicine. Every call, every denial, felt like a punch to his health. All while pharmaceutical companies post record profits. It makes you wonder: is heart health about medicine, or is it about who has the money? #HealthHacks #PharmaTruths #InsuranceNightmares1212Share
