All healthcare should be free.
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.
