By Zoe Witt| Teen Vogue Verified The midterms are looming and donation requests are multiplying in our inboxes. Despite campaign promises, millions of fundraising dollars, and exceptional policy popularity, Democrats in control of the White House and Congress have thus far failed to universally cap the price of insulin — in fact, they haven’t even proposed this as legislation.
By Zoe Witt| Jezebel Verified Diabetics in America are accustomed to indifference and discrimination. Before insulin was first synthesized a hundred years ago, we were condemned to “starvation diets” and an excruciating death. For too many this is still reality. When gestures towards caring are made, coverage coalesces around white, wealthy, thin, type 1 diabetic celebrities, usually for wearing medical devices that are unaffordable to most.
By Zoe Witt, Malia Griggs Verified, Jenny McCoy Verified, Tasneem Anjarwalla Verified| SELF Magazine Verified Editor's note: SELF's usual style is to use person-first language when speaking about someone with a particular health condition. But this author and everyone quoted in the story prefer identity-first language and SELF respects that choice. Every human needs insulin to survive. If you aren't diabetic, you've probably never had to think about how much insulin your body uses. But for diabetics, insulin is an increasingly expensive synthetic hormone that keeps the body functioning.
