Literally saw a mother in tears because she couldn’t afford her child’s Insulin. Her and her husband work full time jobs. They work hard and are normal people. But now they have to ration the insulin doses to try and last the entire month.

This will almost certainly cause a rise in neonatal Listeria cases from maternal transmission...which even if the child survives, can leave them with lifelong disability and functional dependency. Through no fault of their own...just their parents.
