Connor Behr’s older sister has diabetes. Since he was young, he’s listened to his family talk about the lack of affordability for the medications keeping his sister alive, and he decided to do something about it. “I always see petitions coming around for things like putting a cap on insulin… but whenever these come around I always just think of Whack-A-Mole,” he says. “Like we are just smacking down a problem here, and it’s causing [a new problem] to pop up somewhere else. It’s not a solution.”
