This beautiful man right here is the love of my life. His name is Michael, he’s 24 and while I’m only 19 it doesn’t matter. He also has stage 1 diabetes. I can’t imagine how hard it is for him. Everyday is filled with testing his blood sugar constantly, taking insulin, counting carbohydrates, and so on. To top it all of, he doesn’t have health insurance and he has been declined for medical. Yesterday, Michael ran out of insulin and I took him to the Emergency Room at a local hospital. It took them about 2 hours to seem him even though they knew how serious his condition was. His blood sugar was around 500. Mind you, it’s supposed to be around 150. Finally we got into a room and they were only to give him 15 units of insulin which allows him to eat. They have no samples of insulin at the hospital. They blatantly told him that he is going to have to be without insulin for awhile. I’m sorry for being so blunt but if any of you think that this “system” is working, I really don’t know if you have any common sense. Any system that refuses to give a person with a medical condition, the medicine they need in order to live well I think that system is fucked. We’re run by corporate assholes who are ONLY interested in self profit. This is just another example of why I hate the government. Did I mention we’re going to be charged a couple hundred dollars for having to go to the hospital last night? He should have gotten that insulin for free, it’s all bullshit..either that or everyone should have FREE medical insurance. It’s a fucking human right!
Reblog if you agree, I really want to see how many of you actually do.
