Jeesh this whole controversy over a mom of three kids posting a pic in a bikini is a waste of time, energy and real news. I thought we lived in the land of the free?! WHO cares if she posted a pic of herself, good Lord it is so dumb. There are MUCH more important things to talk about!
What about the people who cant afford their medication because of the high costs?
What about the people who cant afford the new govt health care plan premiums that are suppose to be affordable?
What about the Diabetics who are not taking their insulin because they cant afford it, they dont qualify for any help and they cant afford the "everyone is covered" new health care system.
Yeah its a great system but there are still people who cant afford it?!
Come ON NEWS CHANNELS, lets talk about some REAL NEWS!! The news in this country is all stupid, nonsense.
I saw on tv the other day they were talking about a womans dog that got lost in an airport, yeah that really REALLY sucks but do we have to talk about it for 60 minutes?
Arent there people in other countries starving, people in THIS COUNTRY starving?
Women and children in other countries being hunted down and raped and murdered?
I am so sick of the"news" that I dont even want to watch it! Half of it is one sided, they dont even talk to real people and politicians are all so fake they dont even know it!
SERIOUSLY! Lets show the real news so us REAL people who know just how bad it is can get some publicity and get the lazy politicians to really get something done!
GET MY INSULIN COVERED AT 100%
GET MY TEST STRIPS COVERED AT 100%
I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THESE THINGS!
BIRTH CONTROL IS COVERED 100% FOR WOMEN SO WHY THE HECK AREN'T MY DIABETIC SUPPLIES
I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT MY DIABETIC SUPPLIES, I CAN LIVE WITHOUT BIRTH CONTROL FOR GOD SAKE!!!!
ALL DIABETICS NEED THEIR SUPPLIES COVERED AT 100% SERIOUSLY! GET ON THE BALL POLITICIANS!!
That would be awesome to have my insulin and strips AND pump AND dex supplies covered at 100%!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? **universal health care** that covers everyone?
ReplyDeleteI kidd,
On a more serious note birth control pills are a moot point. Hardly equivalent to Diabetes supplies. Birth control would prevent lives all together, before conception...
It would be nice though for it to cover maybe 50/50 of the basics. ie syringes and vials of insulin.
Think about 3rd world countries, that have children, living with a disease that there is no cure for. these children are dying a slow and pain full death over the course of about 4 weeks. their bodies starving themselves from the inside. Diabetes can Kill.

Bob thanks for the comments! It is great you mentioned World Diabetes Day, I was just about to start posting about that on here and on Facebook. =D I know there is no real comparison of birth control pills and Diabetes, I was just making a point of how it is covered and yet so many people cannot even afford their diabetic supplies. It is horrible to think of children or anyone anywhere dying from Diabetes, a treatable disease you can live with.
