RE: The Deadpost Initiative - Week 39 - Share your most undervalued work ($16 STEEM rewards last week)
Well done @whatamidoing for still keeping this initiative alive. You give a lot of newbies hope.
This is my entry for the contest: https://steemit.com/steemstem/@getencored/get-prep
It was a post to create awareness on the difficulty of getting HIV PrEP medication. I hope you find it educating.
Very good post. I lost someone very dear to me to HIV many years ago so I know first hand how devastating the virus is and how important prevention can be. I live in the US and it is true that many integral medications have had the prices raised over 500% to what the cost was just 10 years ago.. The pharmaceutical companies price gouge on everything from life saving insulin, and epipens to the preventative drugs you mentioned. Thank you for writing this post to raise awareness.
Thank you for reading the post. I'm sorry about your loss. I hope regulatory bodies help the common man face up these companies soon.
It was a long time ago but thank you. I hope things change as well, though it's unlikely it will happen anytime soon with the current administration in power and all the money thrown around in general in our political system..
I'm so glad it's easier to get where you are than here in the US. It's absurd how much pharmaceutical companies charge us for medicine. A lot of people who otherwise would take it do without, because they can't afford that nonsense. They are literally killing people when they do things like that. They should honestly face criminal charges. It's so horrid.
lol... maybe they won't face criminal charges but public protest as such could go a long way. thanks for reading my post.
