MORE COMMENTARY: Health-care bill is a giant wealth transfer to the rich
Sandy Woodruff: "Picard is the most heartless and uninformed person. Yes, there is a huge problem - and yes, it costs lots of money. So find the money somewhere else in your budget because these are people we're talking about — not saving a tree or fixing crummy roads.
“Narcan is not treatment. It is a lifesaving drug. It cannot be compared to chemothereapy or bypass surgery. … And who does Picard think he is playing God? How does he get to decide who lives and who dies — who is worthy of saving?But there are thousands of people in recovery, no thanks to Picard … Picard is despicable and the reason more addicts in recovery don’t show their faces. They know the ridicule and disgust their revelation would produce.”
