Federal worker & diabetic Mallory Lorge is down to her last two vials of insulin. When her blood sugar rose to a high level last week, she chose not to use them. “I can’t afford anything. I just went to bed and hoped I’d wake up.”https://t.co/80r4SdZJpE pic.twitter.com/7o9rfLRJ7z

Nationalize Big Pharma
Whenever you run a privatized health care system this is what happens because you’re chasing profits.
Capitalists want everything privatized.
Well almost everything.
The public can run the losers like PG&E, the largest private utility in California, which declared bankruptcy yesterday. (When you’re the cause of forest fires you should go bankrupt.)
Capitalists are well on their way to privatizing public education.
Although for-profit charter schools are very careful not to accept troublemakers.
Those folks will be left for the underfunded and broke-down public schools to educate.
Now the Republican Capitalists, driven by profits, want to privatize the VA health care system.
There’s lots of profit to be made from sick and dying veterans.
