So EMTs should be able to decide if they dispense narcan?

 

An EMT's job is to perform initial life saving techniques when called to a scene; dispensing narcan falls into their job description as it's a non-invasive procedure. That's the job they signed up for and they should be the ones called to administer this drug.

Apply a tax lean to the SSN of the person who Narcan was used on. If they file and get a return we got some money back. If they don't then so be it, it's already free to begin with. Is this not a possible option to force people to pay for it?

So by a simple extension of that logic, why not just socialize all of health care? That way everyone gets it all.

 

Isnt that what we are doing?

Good in theory, but then you have to have regulations on it, and compliance, will end up costing 4 times as much to account for what is used and billed, then what was actually used.

I like his idea too. The government has a way of making simple ideas overwhelmingly impossible. My sister once said that if a Catholic nun ran the government, it would be efficient and on budget. I think that is so true.

This is scary. A man overdoses in a fuel truck. Police found him on the floorboard with the motor running. This is essentially driving a bomb.

Was in court the other day and they had a guy in there for heroin possession. They found it in the cab of his 18 wheeler during a vehicle inspection. It was for personal use and not trafficking.
