I have, in the past, expressed my disgust at American health care (the lack thereof), compared with the British health care, where the government will pay for your medical treatment when you need it. However sometimes I wonder about our health service:

From today they started giving free aluminium foil (cooking foil) to junkies, to heat their heroin on!

I accept that "chasing the dragon" is safer than "mainlining". And I am also grateful because I usually end up supplying the junkies in my building with aluminium foil (they come to my door and pretend they need it for cooking, assuming an old guy like me won't know what they are really using it for). So it will save me money.

But even so, I gotta say
