Opposed
 

I’m strongly opposed to the proposed mandatory stock EpiPen requirement. As a parent, I’m very uncomfortable with non-medical staff giving my child such a powerful medication without a prescription or my explicit guidance. I’m also concerned that this mandate will raise childcare costs for my family, which would create an added burden for us.
