Go to Walmart. Buy a $25 bottle of insulin and a box of syringes (31 ga 5 mm needle. One time use). I do it for my Chihuahua every 12 hours.

My wife uses a pen. Long acting. 25 units (today) once in the morning. The Abbott Freestyle Libre 14-day sensor works with her cell phone to retrieve readings without a finger stick each time. She still uses strips and a stick for validating the Libre sensor outputs.

shs a veteran she can go to the VA she may have to pay a small co-pay for her medicine but it wouldn’t be that much...

or the family could downsize from that too expensive house...

though if the price of her insulin is equal to the mortgage payment amount shes paying too much...

The great propagandists always at work...where were these idiots when Obama was President and people were losing their homes, workforce participation rates were at record lows and families were being destroyed by his Marxist experiment on our society? The good citizens lost in despair turned to drugs and other items because they were being decimated by an over reaching government! The media never covered any of the poor families losing their homes to ruthless local government with high property taxes as they struggled to find work. Screw you media-—this is why no one believes you.

Mortgage companies are indirectly run by the FEDGOV.

They dare not foreclose on a .gov “worker”.

And they wonder why when Trump accurately describes them as the "corrupt media" people applaud thunderously and loudly cheer - the media thinks they are fooling us, or at least they believe their lies are worth it.

You know, I’m very sorry for her personally that she’s in this position.

However, we should keep in mind that she probably sheds no tears at all when a bunch of white guys lose their jobs at the factory when it moves to Vietnam, and thus can’t feed their families or pay for medicines - something which a not insignificant number of federal jobs exist to bring about, either directly or indirectly.

Exactly.

Drug Company donations to a candidate should be viewed as toxically as tobacco company donations.

A few of them need to be impaled publicly and left for carrion to consume

5 more days and she can be laided off in a Reduction of Force and go look for a job in the private sector along with hundreds of thousands of her fellow deadwood colleagues.

Depends on the State... laws may have changed, but some states used to have damned quick Foreclosure processes.

Maybe those three grown children could give a hand. I did for my parents...just as they did for their parents.

38 years and no savings? BS

In addition local banks are advertising short term loans to government employees—safest loan they will ever make.

Her Dem Buddies are working hard in PR on her problem:

Democrat Lawmakers Continue To Party In PR WIth Lobbyists Ignoring Americans

“I’d rather see the Democrats come back from their vacation and act,” Trump told Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro. “They’re not acting, and they’re the ones that are holding it up. It would take me 15 minutes to get a deal done, and everybody could go back to work...But I’d like to see them act responsibly, and they’re not acting responsibly, and that’s it. We could be — I’m in the White House, and most of them are in different locations. They’re watching a certain musical in a very nice location and frankly, it’s ridiculous. The whole thing is ridiculous,” Trump said...”

Fact check how much this liberal puke makes? 100K? 150K?

She needs to put some away for emergencies, instead of buying the latest ‘smart’ phone with built in vibrator.

Sounds like someone doesn't know how to make good decisions. 38 years anywhere should set them with a decent paycheck.

Of course, this is assuming that the article is even remotely true. More likely that the subject is a figment of the author's imagination.
