Land Of Obama: Drug Shortage For Paramedics

First the Obamaites screw up health insurance by passing ObamaCare and now, the Obama administration, with some help, are out to screw up emergency care out in the field.
From Firehouse.com: For at least two years, emergency responders working in the Middletown Division of Fire, have worried what drug they could run out of next.
Because of drug shortages that have plagued pharmacies nationwide, departments like Middletown have had trouble at times buying drugs such as dextrose, a sugar water used to treat diabetic patients, or Narcan, a life-saving antidote that reverses a drug overdose.
This week, it was morphine, the drug used to soothe injured patients while an ambulance carts them to the hospital, that's on the short list. All six bags that Middletown's EMS crews carry contain a dose of morphine and Todd Day, who oversees Middletown's EMS crews, has one vial for back-up.
But if the department uses it all anytime soon, Day isn't sure how quickly he could stock up again...
There were 56 drug shortages in 2006 on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's list. That number climbed to 251 by 2011. The FDA's list includes drugs that have "the greatest impact on public health." Two forms of morphine are currently on the list.
Reasons for increased shortages include fewer manufacturers as some exit the market; quality-control issues and scrutiny by the FDA, which can shut down production; product recalls; increased demand; and a lack of raw materials.
The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists' website has more than 300 entries listed under "current shortages." Updated daily, the list includes recognizable names such as DTaP vaccine, dextrose and caffeine. It also includes exotics such as the black widow antivenom.
"Do we have a shortage of stuff that matters? Yes, we do. There's some stuff (on the list) that scares the hell out of me," said Ernest Boyd, executive director of the Ohio Pharmacists Association.  http://www.firehouse.com/news/11285109/drug-shortages-leave-ems-in-low-supply
The Obama administration over regulates and people are made to suffer.
Obama lies, people die.
And Obama just keeps on partying in Hawaii.
