My R-leaning friend got riled up on this topic. She told me her other healthcare costs had gone way up when the insulin cap was put in place. I told her ‘ok, I don’t know anything about that.’ Researched it after our convo and …

Yes, you've hit it on the head! They don't realize that in the blink of an eye you can go from perfectly healthy to needing a handful of meds to keep you alive. Karma will get them. I'm just sad I won't be around to see it.
