EDITED ! -- I said "tough shit" to a neighbor today. [View all]

All my neighbors are on medicare or advantage plan. It's a senior village. One of the most outspoken of the MAGA supporters who lives here was crabbing at me this morning about the cost of her insulin. She filled Dec 27 - $10. Yesterday? $782.

TOUGH SHIT popped out before I could stop it. Loud enough for everyone to hear.

We had a short conversation after that. I did back track it a little because I really wanted her to see that her selfishness hurt her too. She got what she asked for. "Illegals" and "welfare queens" in need of insulin got cut off from a fair price. If no one benefits, that includes her.

I'm telling you, the MAGA geezers around here are not happy. Prices are going up, not down. The noise about invading Canada has them all upset. Firing inspectors and stopping agencies from informing us about health and safety issues has everyone on edge around here.

They got what they asked for. TOUGH SHIT.


EDIT TO ADD

Special thanks to Mrs. Toad - you mentioned a formulary change as a possible reason, since it turns out that provision for insulin was not affected. Too late today, but I'll mention that to her tomorrow. That is a great call out. THANK YOU.
