BLOOMBERG: WON'T TORTURE TERRORISTS, WILL TORTURE NEW YORKERS BY DENYING PAINKILLERS IN PUBLIC EMERGENCY ROOMS
Outside of his expertise, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a liberal loon. A billionaire bully who believes his wealth and position allows him to dictate behavior modification to those residing in New York City. It doesn’t matter that criminals do not respect the law – this asswipe must punish law-abiding in his attempt to curtail the guilty.
New York City to Restrict Prescription Painkillers in Public Hospitals’ Emergency Rooms
Some of the most common and most powerful prescription painkillers on the market will be restricted sharply in the emergency rooms at New York City’s 11 public hospitals, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said Thursday in an effort to crack down on what he called a citywide and national epidemic of prescription drug abuse.
Under the new city policy, most public hospital patients will no longer be able to get more than three days’ worth of narcotic painkillers like Vicodin and Percocet. Long-acting painkillers, including OxyContin, a familiar remedy for chronic backache and arthritis, as well as Fentanyl patches and methadone, will not be dispensed at all. And lost, stolen or destroyed prescriptions will not be refilled.
City officials said the policy was aimed at reducing the growing dependency on painkillers and preventing excess amounts of drugs from being taken out of medicine chests and sold on the street or abused by teenagers and others who want to get high.

Is this man crazy?
Not only will the poor denied pain-killers and their lives made infinitely more miserable, but the drug gangs will be enabled to distribute more product at higher prices to those law-abiding citizens who cnnot get prescription painkillers legitimately.
How does this man have the moral authority to get between a doctor and his patient?
Guns – Salt – Tobacco – Drugs: Does anybody see a pattern here. A liberal do-gooder who is immune from his own rules and regulations.
Time to send liberal democrats like Bloomberg and Cuomo packing. This is the man that rails against torturing terrorists, but has absolutely no qualms about torturing New Yorkers.
