staypuftmarshmallowqueen: shadowmaat:genly:partypuppyyes:skelezoid:ALSO! if you want to know why some of them think that this decision is okay and the so-called “reasoning” behind their votes, here is one guy in particular you can hate:Gaetz justifies ‘no’ vote on insulin cap bill by saying diabetics should lose weight Some high-level ignorance in the notes, so:1) lifesaving medicine should be free to all who need it2) insulin is not expensive to produce3) people with type 1 diabetes, a genetic autoimmune disorder and nothing to do with diet and/or lifestyle, need insulin daily to live, regardless of their diet and/or lifestyle. prev tags cosigned4) people with type 2 diabetes—which is possible to develop, and is likelier to develop in food deserts aka places with access barriers to healthy eating where the demographics tend to be combinations of black, indigenous, latin, and poor—also need insulin If I remember correctly, the price cap is only on co-pay, which means if you don’t have insurance (because you can’t afford it) then you’re still royally fucked. And here is why the constant correlation of T2D with weight is leading to peoples’ deaths: fatphobia.Being fat is CORRELATED with various illnesses but has not been implicated in a causal relationship.You can’t bleach your hair blond and get blue eyes, but those 2 traits are correlated to an absurd degree. Why does everyone seem to think that this same correlative nature can’t apply to being fat?w/e fuck that guy he’s a shitbag. -- source link
