Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    So, medicine and pharmaceuticals are not bad, even if the companies are bad.

    Haha, if I held this stance, I would literally die. Insulin companies suck entire bags of dick, but uh… yeah, I have no choice.

      Don’t even get me started on the people who claim those with diabetes or asthma can get better with willpower and shouldn’t be taking medicine.

        Luckily, I grew out of my exercise-induced asthma, but when I was a teen, I lost count of the amount of people who asked why I didn’t just power through without my inhaler. Like, bro, my lungs are on fire and I might die, you want me flirt with death just to see if my lungs can make it?

          Invisible disabilities suck. People just underestimate stuff like that all the time. “It’s just like a bad cough, isn’t it?”

          No, it flipping isn’t.

        As long as I’m employed and insured, insulin costs me at most $35 per month. If not, yes, living in pretty much any other developed country would be cheaper, health-wise.
