INSULIN TO LIVE
Stop doctors from playing God! Let Insulin dependent diabetics go to the pharmacies and buy what they need to live without having to grease someone's palm first.
Why is this important?
My son could not afford a visit to doctor as he has no employment nor health insurance. He went to the center that he was going to and asked for a prescription for the insulin that he needs to stay alive and was turned down because he didn't come in for an appointment. He came very close to dying on two separate occassions as a result. I propose that Insulin dependent diabetics no longer be required to see a doctor or nurse practicioner if they are unable financially and have no health insurance, but if they are adults, why not be given a card by the diagnosing physician as to what type of insulin they use so that they will be able to just go to the pharmacy and obtain this life saving medication as oppossed to nearly dying as my son did on two separate occassions because of this incident.
