I’m sorry, but if you need a drug that costs $1,200 per month, you better figure out how to get a better-paying job than working in a dog kennel. Move to another state if you have to. Or cut your spending.

Too few people these days are willing to figure out solutions to their own problems. They want the nanny state to save them.

I bet that guy had a cell phone, and a car, and lived in a place with a TV, a refrigerator and air conditioner. What did his grocery cart look like? I’ll bet it didn’t include whole chicken, big bags of potatoes or dried pinto beans.

Poor guys dead. You sound cold. Probably dreaded his birthday coming. He was working, engaged, suffering from a life long condition. It’s not like he was a deadbeat drug addict.

If he wanted the nanny state to save him, he would have moved to NY or CA.t

You are a judgmental fool and probably should change your freeeper name to something that doesn’t include God, for you are an embarrassment

the kid was a type one diabetic, with a marginal life. He was lifelong sick, and lucky to be able to work at any job. Even with medication he would have had a substantially shortened life.

“I’m sorry, but if you need a drug that costs $1,200 per month, you better figure out how to get a better-paying job than working in a dog kennel.”

I’d be giving you a different answer if he were kicked off dad’s plan when he turned 18, or even 22 (the old system). But yes, we may not Obamacare, but this guy had 8 FRIGGEN YEARS to get a career going after high school...before turning 26.

And I also agree with others...there’s a political purpose to this story - particularly coming out when Trump is looking to cut drug prices.

FYI, potatoes and beans are high in carbs and increase a diabetics blood sugars. Not good foods for them to eat.
