It's the same with basically every other campaign that wants to grab headlines. It literally makes no sense that insulin prices are killing people and it's unavailable, and a basic amount of research shows that yeah indeed, it's clickbait intended to hook you into a more complex discussion.

I pay zero attention to people and news sources that repeat that behavior more than once. Lead with the truth.

You are a prime example of WHY that lie is bad. The discussion they are trying to drag you into is an important one, and well worth having. However, by starting out with a lie, they are driving you away before they can even start the conversation with you about it. A conversation where you might agree with them.
