NEW COMIC! “Expectation vs Unwanted Reality”

You can help stop RFK Jr.’s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services!

RFK Jr’s position on healthcare is seriously concerning.

People with diabetes rely on medical research to advance insulins and diabetes technology, and rely on evidenced-based healthcare to ensure they can live their day-to-day lives and not worry that their basic healthcare needs aren’t being met.

How are we supposed to go forward and find better ways of living with diabetes and potential for cures for diabetes if the HHS is anti-science? Not only will it affect Americans with diabetes, people with diabetes around the world will also feel the backwards motion of diabetes health advancements.

As @betacellpodcast has said in his latest post “Consider that modern diabetes care relies on decades of rigorous clinical trials, ongoing research into improved delivery methods, and strong public health institutions - all things Kennedy has repeatedly opposed.”

Also check @betacellpodcast’s post on what to do about it:

“The Senate Finance Committee decides if his nomination will advance to the full Senate for a vote, so if your senator is on the Committee, you can help by calling and urging them to vote against his nomination — and it’s easier than trying to get your health insurance to cover your insulin. It only takes a minute of your time and all the staffers on the phone can do is take your name, address, and reason for calling. That’s it!

Not sure what where to call or what to say? We have phone numbers and a script in the post.”
