Give free needles to diabetics, not drug users

Regarding the needle exchange program going on in Ogden, why are we encouraging this? Let’s let all of the diabetics who have multiple injections a day get in line for free syringes also. My Medicare pays for my chem strips and lancets to monitor my blood sugar, but I spend a ridiculous amount for my two different insulins and syringes that I need four times a day, plus the amount I pay each month for my health insurance and Medicare Parts A and B each month. 

If anything, we should be arresting these drug addicts instead of patting them on the head.
