COMMON SENSE LACKING
I'm all for fixing the drug problem in Vancouver, but if we are going
to pay approximately $7,500 a year for heroin addicts to get their fix
then why do diabetics have to pay for their own meds? It's not like
they chose to be a diabetic.
Or how about those suffering from fibromyalgia who take Lyrica, a very
costly drug that is also not covered? This heroin giveaway is nothing
short of discrimination. There is no perfect solution, but where is
the common sense here?
