Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.
Inspired by @hmcghee yesterday at the @WAStPubHealth conference. She encouraged us to focus on “solidarity dividends” and all of the ways communities and particularly communities of color pull together to support each other and fill equity gaps.
So many interesting conversations happening here at the @WAStPubHealth conference! It was great to hear @KBensley talk about an emerging field of inquiry she is focused on to better understand the health and socioeconomic status of historically timber dependent communities.
Fantastic first day of the 2022 @WAStPubHealth Annual Conference. Lots of highlights, including an excellent talk by @heidiberthoud on engaging with rural communities to LISTEN to them identify their own needs and rebuild trust.
DYK? Birth control pills are already available over the counter in more than 100 countries. And with the news earlier this month of an OTC switch application being submitted to the FDA, the US is closer than ever to joining that list 🗒. #FreeThePill
Despite the challenges ahead, a commitment to advancing reproductive health, rights, & justice will bring us closer to a future where everyone can live a healthy sexual & reproductive life. #ReproductiveJustice#ReproductiveRights

“If we aren’t prepared for what’s going to happen … the inequities that we see when access to reproductive care is not available for everybody will be exacerbated, and that has already historically excluded communities.” - @kiaguarino, Executive Director https://t.co/UjJ3EFiTcI
