essay title Living on the edge: The vulnerabilities of Type 1 diabetics to climate-related insulin immobility in the US target audience Big pharma companies and politicians in the US who directly influence legislation on drug pricing commentary I wanted to convey frustration into a rallying cry for action against insulin immobilities and stakeholders, namely big pharma companies and politicians. The three verses represent three T1D voices: a girl scared by her mortality; a young adult trapped in a debt cycle caused by expensive medication, and an older woman who survived a devastating hurricane. The chorus unites all three voices representing T1D across the country, calling out to these companies for their greed, while the bridge transitions to include politicians to remind them of their inaction and compliance. |
