So, what’s next? What treatment gets excluded because someone doesn’t like the victim’s life choices. .

First Responder: “OK guys, back to the station. This car accident victim’s blood alcohol content is over the limit. Forget about him. PACK UP AND MOVE OUT! Maybe we can still catch the last round of Pat and Vanna. Last one to the station washes dishes.”

First Responder: “OK guys, back to the station. This heart attack victim is a fatty. He obviously doesn’t care about himself. PACK UP AND MOVE OUT! Maybe we can still catch the last round of Pat and Vanna.” Last one to the station washes dishes.”

False arguments and irrelevant strawmen from the virtue signaling phony compassionate (that would be you). The topic is opioid addiction, a clear conscious lifestyle choice, and not something you catch like a communicable disease or you suddenly you just develop like cancer.

Not one of you addict enablers have given me any reason as to why the fruits of MY labor should be taken from me forcibly (remembering that for every dollar I earn, I have to give up some of my life) and then given to treat some a$$hole addict who decided that getting high was his goal in life.

Remember we're talking about limited resources here and how to allocate them.
