What Readers are Saying on Twitter, Facebook, and our Blog
"This is an outrage. Narcan in nasal formula is a great tool that should be accessible to all." "I hope all health care providers can put aside their own fears and misconceptions, and see the real needs of their patients." "Independent advanced practice nurses are greatly needed for rural, urban, and low-wage Floridians who are chronically underserved by the current medical/health care establishment." "Perhaps the real issue clouding the lens of some is power and an unrelenting desire to be 'in charge' at the expense of affordable and effective health care."
