Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Born with immune system that destroys its own insulin producing cells -> forced to pay $11 a week (depends on person) for the rest of your life.
I really wish Gavin Newsom would stop being transphobic so I could appreciate when he actually does good for people.
Is he actively, continuously transphobic, or was it just that time everyone talks about? One time is too many, but there are way worse folks for sure. I don't really follow Californian politics though
Definitely a win! It's important to note what type of insulin this is, insulin glargine (a long acting insulin). For those who are already on Lantus or Toujeo it will definitely be a plus. Hopefully next they'll do short acting insulins (lispro and aspart)
This is interesting
It's interesting. It's really interesting that you would say that. Just interesting.
It’s not clear in the article, but I think this insulin is actually being manufactured in the US.
