My doctor owned by the chinse food store down the street job is to sell insulin which is why they won't let us have Intravenous food to keep one sugar level. They want to cut peoples body parts off.

That’s all under obama, so nice try

Damn Obama administration.

Narrator : “Before Trump took office,”

Damn that Obama.

Bring in more illegals!! That will solve it... loons

2012 - 2016. BEFORE Trump. So, Obamacare drove up insulin prices for diabetics? Ummm, oh course.

Yeah Obamacare sucks.

Yeah that was pretty fucked up of Obama, the Democrats, and Obamacare to do that to people.

Let's see....what happened in 2014...oh yeah, most of Obamascamcare went into effect.

Obamacare did this. Did you think we wouldn’t notice? bias

So why wasn't this reported in 2016, I wonder?

Blame it on Obama

livequixotic Considering my family's medical history this really has me worried....

Wow it's almost like the ACA is fucking terrible.

You simply couldn't bring yourself to say this happened under Obama. 🤣

And this is why keto/paleo diets are shit on-cuz big pharmaceutical would lose billions. Vile.

This is without rebates and discounts revealed. I heard that on the radio. Pharma does not have to disclose🙄

Pharmaffia

So will obama, Paul ryan, & other politicians and/or bureaucrats get investigated to see if they personally financially benefited by selling us all out to drug & insurance companies

Free market healthcare, solution to all of our issues. Not!

A recent five-year period occurring entirely during the administration of a gormless tyro who claimed his plan would reduce prices. You were part of the advocacy for that. Nice work, idiots.

Maybe tell fatty that a diet coke w/ a whole bucket of KFC isn't dieting, instead of making them feel special, would be cheaper?

Um...thanks Obama. I guess.

FDA prevents competition. Lobbyists make sure of it, and Senators and Congressman enforce it.

Hey! Give the pharmaceutical execs a break.. they need our hopes and prayers, by golly!

You can blame Obamacare
