Democracy Now is committed to bringing you the stories and perspectives you won't hear anywhere else, from the peace activists demanding an end to war to Indigenous leaders fighting to stop fossil fuel extraction and save the planet. Our independent reporting is only possible because we’re funded by you—not by the weapons manufacturers when we cover war or gun violence, not by the oil, gas, coal, or nuclear companies when we cover the climate crisis. Can you donate $10 today to keep us going strong? Every dollar makes a difference. Right now a generous donor will DOUBLE your donation, making it twice as valuable to Democracy Now! Please do your part today, and thank you so much. -Amy Goodman

I’m a pharmacy tech and the prices I see on medications is ridiculous. Especially ones needed to live like insulin. You can get a bottle of highly addictive painkillers without insurance less than twenty bucks. It’s like they know the ones people need to live and therefore have no choice but to pay, that they can charge whatever they want. Jardiance is the worst. It’s over a thousand dollars and some of them have insurance too. No other “firSt world” country puts their citizens in this position

As someone with a chronic, life-long preexisting condition that has no cure, at only the age of 23, it would be nice to not die or become egregiously disabled because I can’t pay for medical bills over something I had no control over getting.

I look forward to the day that healthcare isn't tied to a job.
