I’m of the belief that if it’s a overdose....you get one free trip to the hospital. On the second overdose, either you crank out $10k right there on the spot, or we leave you there.

Some people end up in the ER on a weekly basis from drug abuse. It is not only a drain on the hospital but also the paramedics and police who have to respond to the 911 call.

Let their families/friends pay for the druggies rehab! Let them deal with it. Americans have enough expenses caring for elderly relatives.. Even veterans don't get all the financial assistance they should. If they own a home, they and their caregiver spouse could likely lose it in order to pay for supplemental caregiving/nursing homes.
But druggies get a free ride because they pissed away all they had. It's always 'reward bad/ punish good'. The Middle-class.. especially Veterans always get the shaft.
