'Insulin or death': New Hampshire voters gripped by skyrocketing drug prices
11 February 2020 - Diabetics who use insulin say the 2020 vote is high stakes for their health.
A quiet struggle over the skyrocketing price of insulin is turning the 2020 election into a referendum on survival for many New Hampshire families.
"It is insulin or death," said Stacey Patterson of Pembroke, New Hampshire, of the 100-year-old drug. "There's no other treatment for Type 1 [diabetes]. There's nothing you can do. If it's $1,000, I'm going to pay $1,000, because I have to. There's no other choice for me."
