Agreed 100%. I have T1D myself, in addition to 2 rare autoimmune neurological diseases that affect my peripheral nervous system. Last time I checked (in March 2019), you could buy 13.5 [10 mL] vials of Novorapid/Novolog in Canada for 1 [10 mL] vial of Novorapid/Novolog in the United States. I am actually going to buy insulin in Canada on a trip in a couple of weeks due to formulary restrictions imposed by my insurance company (cannot obtain this type of insulin via insurance--not due to cost...). It makes me absolutely sick to my stomach that people with T1D ration insulin. You cannot safely or effectively ration insulin with T1D, ever. Anyways, I am one of the most stubborn people you will ever meet, but honestly, I do not see a future in this country (the United States). I expect the Affordable Care Act to be either partially or completely overturned next year (June-July 2020), based on the rare cases where the Solicitor General did not defend a case at the Supreme Court. Based on those cases, the likelihood of a partial or complete overturn of the ACA is staggeringly high. I am trying to warn you that things may get really bad, and to be prepared. Consider other countries, with universal healthcare, in fact, even actually any country in the European Union. They will accept you regardless of the cost of your medical care, as long as you can get a visa. Same goes for citizenship, in the long run. No medical inadmissability restrictions whatsoever. The Anglo-Saxon countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia) are largely closed to immigration, and the latter 2 have medical inadmissability criteria. Remember that. |
