The state of California is making efforts to produce its own supply of naloxone nasal spray.
On Thursday, the California Department of Health Care Access and Information took the next step in creating the supply by issuing a request for information. This step assesses the ability of suppliers to fulfill the state's needs.
Private partners can now bid to develop, manufacture and distribute generic naloxone nasal spray.
Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose. The most common form of the medication is Narcan nasal spray. California's Department of Health Care Services pays $44 per two-pack of Narcan. In the RFI, the state says that the price tag limits how much Narcan they can purchase and distribute.
To address these issues, California launched the Naloxone Access Initiative.
The program is funded through the state's drug affordability program CalRx. The CalRx Naloxone Access Initiative has received $30 million to create low-cost over-the-counter naloxone nasal spray.
This will only increase abuse and OD’s, the same as birth control meds increase intimate activity.
Why bother?
You’d be doing them a favor
letting die from an overdose.
They are miserable.
My cousin was a heroin addict
I rescued her ass more than once.
She never OD’ed. The lifestyle
killed her not the drug.
Hmm. I wonder who will get that money.
Remember back during the Bush ‘43 presidency, California spent $3B to establish a human stem cell research center.
It’s called the CIRM (California Institute for Regenerative Medicine). Do a search to see if they’ve accomplished anything. I did, and came up with bupkis.
CIRM’s 35-member board is entirely comprised of political appointees, except for four positions appointed by the chancellors of University of California campuses.
The “Chair” of the CIRM Board of Directors get a salary of $569K. The salaries of the other 34 members of the Board are not so easy to determine.
California will pay any price to keep a Bolshekrat voter alive.
Really helping out the taxpayers, aren’t they?
Can’t produce desalination plants though.
Let ‘em die. If they choose to use they know it is a possible outcome. It helps rid us of undesirables.
