| I found this statement at "The Addicts Diary." |
This is true... Yes.
This is True... No.
The "Yes"
part is sort of obvious.
The "No" the part is not.
My friends died from
their use of heroin or whatever else was in that (intended) insulin syringe. How
many times did each of these human beings seek treatment within their required
process of receiving health care as outlined by the Medicaid system?
How
many times did they go to that Medicaid required crisis center only to leave after
double-digit hours of waiting in desperate dope sickness and find their own
healing by way of one little blue bag?
How
many times did my friend get discharged from jail with no follow-up services set
up and move to an abandoned house and die in solo medicine consumption since his
community under that bridge had been eliminated?
She
was fortunate enough to have a judge who truly cared and did his best for
her. Why didn't the Medicaid level
detox/rehab assure that patients around her were not taking their "medicine"
IN the state-licensed facility? In the
name of truly wanting to find healing, she left the poison of that environment and, in
the absence of support was overcome with the temptations that come with Substance
Use Disorder and life on the streets and died behind a closed door in an abandoned house since she had no bridge community upon which to return.
And
now you know:
Heroin
and the Medicaid system of health care killed my friends.
