I almost died because I didn’t have money to pay for my insulin.

The reality is that too many folks in Kentucky can't afford the price of the prescription drugs they need — and far too many have paid the price of their life instead.

Pamela, Health care is a human right. So, why is it so inaccessible in our country? I remember standing in line with my mom, waiting to get my insulin, only to find out it was over $1,000. I will never forget having to walk out of the pharmacy without the medicine I needed to live. The reality is that too many folks in Kentucky can't afford the price of the prescription drugs they need — and far too many have paid the price of their life instead. I could have been one of them, and almost was. I know firsthand the struggles the people of Kentucky face because I've lived them. That's why I'm dedicated to lowering prescription drug costs. If you believe in a future where no one has to die because they don't have money in their pocket to afford their medication, join our movement right now. Endorse our movement The reality of having to choose between either getting the critical medicine we need to survive or putting food on the table is one that's all too familiar for the people of Kentucky. Just two years ago, I almost died in front of my family in the hospital because I'd rationed my insulin to provide for my family. I'm lucky that I'm still here today. And I will fight every day to ensure a future where healthcare is affordable and accessible in this country. If you're ready to fight with me, join our movement to take back Kentucky's Senate seat and build the better future we deserve — one where no one is turned away from the care or medication they need to live. Together, we're going to show everyone the power of everyday people coming together. Thank you. Charles Booker Paid for by Booker Exploratory.   Sent via ActionNetwork.org.
