Lets veterans get opioid overdose medicine without a prescription or copay
This bill would let veterans get life-saving opioid overdose medicine, like naloxone, from the Department of Veterans Affairs. They would no longer need a doctor's prescription or have to pay a copayment for it. This aims to make it easier for veterans to access this critical medication.
Today, veterans likely need a prescription and may have to pay a copayment to get an opioid antagonist from the Department of Veterans Affairs. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Veterans Affairs would give opioid antagonists to veterans without requiring a prescription or a copayment.
