SUMMARY:Health Care Justice and the 2020 Election: A Public Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join us in D.C. on Thursday\, January 30 for a close look at the Democratic candidates’ proposals for fixing the multiple crises in the U.S. health care system. \nAt this forum — the first in a series — we’ll examine the major candidates’ ideas for making U.S. health care more universal\, comprehensive\, accessible\, and affordable at the point of care.  \nWould their plans effectively repair the injustices in our current non-system? What kinds of tradeoffs are involved in their plans? Are there important problems that they’ve completely ignored? \nWe don’t take corporate money and we aren’t affiliated with any candidates for public office. Everyone is welcome. No expertise required. \n

SUMMARY:Pharma Blood-Money Protest for Insulin-Rationing Victims
DESCRIPTION:Insulin corporations are killing people with diabetes\, so for World Diabetes Day\, we’re delivering blood-soaked bags of money to Pharma’s front door. \nWe WON’T let Pharma hide their guilt. \nTheir predatory pricing led to the insulin-rationing deaths of ten Americans in the last two years. In honor of Jesimya\, Jada\, Josh\, Kayla\, Meaghan\, Micah\, Jesse\, Alec\, Antavia\, and Shane\, we must keep the pressure on. \nParents and family of the deceased will be traveling to the event and need your support. Boston physicians will declare a humanitarian crisis. Massachusetts citizens with diabetes will share how they are suffering and scared.  \nThe fight is right here and right now. NO MORE DEATHS. \nWhat you can do:\nAttend in-person and make sure to RSVP on Facebook. \nParticipate by choosing to sponsor a bucket of blood.

We are happy to carry your questions and comments with us. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Rally Against Insulin Profiteering
DESCRIPTION:Join the Right Care Alliance and #Insulin4All advocates on Sunday\, April 8th for a demonstration regarding high insulin prices in the U.S.  \nSign up on Facebook here!  \nThe hashtag #Insulin4all was created by T1 International\, an organization that has been fighting against high insulin prices for many years. Check out their website and follow them on Twitter! \n \n People are dying because they cannot afford their insulin. About seven million Americans are dependent on insulin to sustain their life. High insulin prices are causing more Americans to ration insulin to make it last longer – a dangerous practice that led to the deaths of two young men last year. We hope to create pressure to reduce insulin prices and improve transparency on drug prices in the U.S.  \n NOTE: We will be meeting near the Portrait Gallery on F street between 7th and 8th street NW.  \n Bring yourself and\, if you wish\, a sign and a chair! We will be leading chants and will have patients share their stories. \n  \nSign up on Facebook here!

SUMMARY:Insulin Cost Tweetchat
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Twitter on March 26\, 12-1pm ET for an interactive discussion about the problem of out-of-control insulin prices! We’ll be chatting about how insulin costs have increased\, how far people are willing to go to get insulin\, whether Big Pharma’s justifications hold water\, and more. You don’t want to miss it! \nHere’s how to participate: \n\nFollow @RightCareNow on Twitter\nLog onto Twitter at 12pm ET on Monday\, March 26\nUse the hashtags #Insulin4all and #RightCare to follow the conversation\nGet chatting!\n\nThe hashtag #Insulin4all was created by T1 International\, an organization that has been fighting against high insulin prices for many years. Check out their website and follow them on Twitter! \n \n  \nInsulin 101\nInsulin is a hormone that helps turn blood sugar into energy. Diabetes is a condition in which the body does not produce or respond to insulin. For the 1.23-3 million people in the US with Type 1 diabetes\, their pancreas doesn’t produce insulin. Without taking insulin\, people with Type 1 diabetes cannot turn food into energy\, and will die in a matter of days. \nType 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the body develops a resistance to insulin. About 4 million people with Type 2 diabetes use insulin to manage their blood sugar and avoid long-term complications like vision impairment and nerve damage. \nOver the past few decades\, the price of insulin has risen to astronomical levels. In 1996\, the list price of a vial of insulin (about a month’s worth) was $21. In 2010\, it rose to $112\, and again in 2017 to $275 a vial! The reason? The “big three” companies that manufacture insulin have no regulations on what they can charge and no generic competition\, so they raise prices to whatever the market will bear.  \nThe Right Care Alliance launched a campaign in mid-February targeting high insulin prices\, to organize clinicians\, patients\, and the public around this crucial issue. Learn more about the campaign\, read more facts about insulin\, and sign up for our direct action on our campaign page. \n
