Good morning I wish it truly were a good one.
I woke up with a headache and a deep sense of depression after spending the night translating testimonies of Gazan women who were raped, recounting what happened to them.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Mom’s insurance at 26
He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums

Insulin's High Cost Leads To Lethal Rationing
Alec Raeshawn Smith was 23 when diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and 26 when he died. He couldn't afford $1,300 per month for his insulin and other diabetes supplies, so he tried to stretch the doses.
