“Similarly to what we’re saying here in Maine that lawmakers need to choose between Mainers & pharma, patients have every right to be asking organizations who they will choose: patients or pharma?

“I wish I could have saved him,” Begin said, admitting the guilt she’s carried as a mother who could not save her son’s life. “But then I realized, it wasn’t my fault. And it wasn’t Nick’s fault. It wasn’t his fault that he couldn’t afford his insulin.” bangordailynews.com/2021/04/21/opi…

He claimed that most patients have access to insulin at a cost to them of under $50 a month. “But there are exceptions,” he said. Is that what Alec was to them? One of the exceptions? Nicole Smith-Holt #insulin4all's journey to Eli Lilly HQ in 2018: t1international.com/blog/2018/05/0… #insulin4all
"Leo knows that without access to insulin, he will die. Those thoughts motivated him to testify before the Legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Health Coverage, Insurance &Financial Services in support of LD 673". Read more of Maine #insulin4all's work: centralmaine.com/2021/04/24/wat…
If you need emergency access to insulin, there's no time to wait. Learn how the emergency part of #LD673 works. (Thanks to Vinegar Tom for this awesome graphic!) Then contact your Maine state lawmakers & tell them to vote YES on #LD673! #mepolitics #insulin4all
