Title: Clinton Foundation To Help Make Anti-Overdose Drug More Affordable

The anti-overdose drug can save many lives, but the survivors suffering from an addiction will keep using and overdosing as long as Naloxone is available to them. The Clinton Foundation and Kaleo, the pharmaceutical company that invented Evizo, are in the process of making this anti-overdose drug more available to people overdosing on heroin, Vicodin, OxyContin, morphine and other opioids. 

Almendrala quoted Spencer Williamson, CEO of Kaleo, in an interview about making Naloxone more affordable, “In five years, the goal is to save 10,000 lives per year.” In prior years there have been over 16,000 deaths due to overdose.

While I believe saving people from death by overdose, this drug being more available could take a turn for the worse. For example making this more available to the elderly would be beneficial, because the drugs they are overdosing from aren't recreational. The elderly overdose from being unaware of the proper dosage of medication. Whereas people suffering from addiction might begin keeping Naloxone on hand so they can continue using drugs without the fear of dying instead of getting real help for their problems.
