The problem we face today is much broader and monstrous than the place our society was in when these regulations were enacted.  We need greater access to people who can help -- but there are not enough medical professionals out there to allow all who need it to get help, not to mention the cost of medical care.  Please make this care available to a broader section of society to lessen the burden on those who show up when it is too late.
