Commenter: A concerned mother

Hb 2163
 
I am very concerned for my daughters health. She has been sober for years and this bill jeopardizes her sobriety, she is allergic to suboxone but yet she's forced to take it so she doesn't relapse. She is so scared that she will all because of the government had dictation over her medical care. Would you make someone with an infection take a antibiotic that they are allergic to? I didn't think so, so why make all these patients take a medication that could potentionally be life threatening? Please reconsider this bill or put in a clause for the patients who have a documented drug allergy. I'm begging you for my daughters life/sobriety.
