Here’s some actual nanny-state stupidity:

ERs in NYC are going to be restricting painkillers given out at the ER massively. What seems like a “Well, that’s sensible” quickly turns into idiocy. If someone breaks an ankle, they’re going to need more than a 3-day script. If they don’t already have a primary care physician, no fucking way that they get an appointment with the doc within three days. There’s all kinds of shit like this, where thanks to the long waiting times we have for primary care doctors and the large numbers of uninsured this is going to punish a lot of suffering people.

Stupid fucking idea, stupid Bloomberg, stop trying to legislate good medical practice.
