Even if you’re a senior who benefits from this, how can you think this is OK and support the gop?

May I introduce you to the Church of Fuck You Got Mine?
Also, if you’re 65 or older, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, the shingles vaccine is now available at no cost. 
In 2022, it cost around $400. 
Please tell your parents or grandparents. >

My sister got the latest shingles vax last year at CVS for free and she wasn’t 65 >

That’s awesome! It should be free everywhere for everyone. >

It's not free, the cost is just shifted to premiums. 
Drug prices are messed up due to how PBMs negotiate rebates >

Why isn't this for everyone? >

Which is funny because the anti-vax crowd, which is now largely Republicans, are constantly posting “you’ll make the Covid vaccine free but not insulin or cancer drugs?!?!?” as if it’s some sort of conspiracy, directly after voting for the people who explicitly make that the case >

Also “Why do paramedics give these addicts free Narcon, but I can’t afford insulin!!” >

I guess they don't know how much an ambulance ride costs >

Or that in a lifesaving situation they would also receive “free” insulin from paramedics. >

So.. just call the paramedics everyday when your blood sugar got too high? >

Doctors, Nurses, the ambulance staff, and hospitals will save your life regardless of your ability to pay. You'll just have to pay thousands of dollars afterwards. >

Um... duh.. >

Insulin should be free. Diabetics need it to live. >

All healthcare should be free. >

Right...that's what government is for, to provide for its people. >

There is no government without the people. They seem to be forgetting that. >

They didn't forget, they just have a different definition of people. >

Try getting therapy or counseling for depression and and anxiety it’s 4 to 500.00 dollars an hour >

Where do you live that it’s so high? My ex is a therapist and charges 60$ an hour for uninsured. Then splits that with her practice. >

Anything remotely that affordable near me has a 6 month wait-list, especially for men. >

Pardon my ignorance but do therapists charge differently for men vs. women? Or only take fewer men as patients? >


do therapists charge differently for men vs. women?

I assume that would be quite illegal unless they can prove that they spend more hours/resources for men vs women. >

Not sure about the legality of charging differently, but around me, many therapists advertise that they only accept women as clients, which seems to be ok from a legal standpoint. >

Why only seniors?
American healthcare system is a dystopia. >


Why only seniors?

Because the GOP wouldn't support it for anyone else. >
