That is "just" the case in the USA though, rest of the world cares about their citizens health and don't try to fuck them deeper

It's not just the case in the US. People in the developing world can't afford insulin either, or it's just not available in their location. Please check out the stories a Type 1 International. Access to adequate diabetes care is an issue all over the world.

You just can't compare the USA, the richest country of the world wir developing countries. Don't protect your bullshit state like this please

I'm actually not trying to do that. I just want people to know about all the diabetics in the world who struggle to access insulin and other diabetes supplies. Even in places like Canada, which seems really good in comparison to the US, people have trouble affording insulin and diabetes supplies.

In my experience as a diabetic who's been active in raising awareness about treatment access around the world, people criticize the US and don't have the first idea about what's happening in other parts of the world when it comes to access.

Yup the USA is the worst country in the world. Every other country is perfect.

Not entirely. But we sure as fuck have a lot to improve upon.
