@stephruhle.bsky.social To prevent people dying from drugs , alcohol on street. Think aids was already a thing. They did not know how spread for years. How to treatOr how Would not want people dying on streets. Possibly contaminating others. Think was only thing Reagan did that I liked.

@stephruhle.bsky.social He was near veterans hospital. Not a veteran. Example, also laws where made that maybe if he had gone to veteran’s hospital (not a veteran). They would have treated him. Then transferred to other md place. Also was to prevent people dying in streets. More humain.

@stephruhle.bsky.social I think the reason why hospitals treat everyone. Please verify. Reagan signed the laws. A guy in Brooklyn died on steps of a hospital. Would not treat him because he did not have insurance. Think it was a heart attack. Had he been treated he would have lived
