Insulin isn't Advil - it's Oxygen

This month I remember the September 30, 2018 vigil T1International organized at the Eli Lilly Headquarters to honor lives lost from insulin rationing. This was before blockbuster weight loss drugs came to market, the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the signing into law of the Alec Smith Insulin Affordability Act, the increased scrutiny into the role of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), the release of the documentary Pay or Die, and many other developments. Progress and stubbornness continue. Here is the postcard I brought to the 2018 vigil.
