I should clarify that I’ve lived with T1D folks in the US for my entire life and I’ve seen them have to choose between food/rent/car insurance/etc and insulin more times than I can count.

The comment that I’m responding to strikes me as either alarmingly uninformed about the material conditions that many, many diabetics find themselves in, naïveté based around completely believing some marketing pamphlet, or genuinely making statements in bad faith. I chose to respond in a sarcastic way in my previous comment because the nature of that statement is so incredibly outlandish and broad that it genuinely seems like a comment in bad faith.

“All pharmaceuticals are free if you just go to the website” is genuinely such a dada-esque-ly untrue statements for the majority of Americans that I can only imagine a person making that statement as a joke or a lie.
