„Alec Smith, died in 2017 because he could not afford the $1,300 out-of-pocket price for his prescription once he was dropped from his parents’ health insurance when he turned 26“

What a reality. I‘m glad that I don’t have a life threatening diseases, but I would do everything that is possible to survive. Steal, rob, fraud to come at least up with the money to survive.

I‘m shocked that simply surviving a manageable sickness in a first world country is not a human right.
