D & A funding cut backs tragic

I sent your article about the severe funding cuts received by the Lancaster County Drug and Alcohol Commission (LCDAC) to a retired employee of the LCDAC.  In response, she wrote: “This Commission is also the source of the major funding for the Council’s D&A programs in the schools.  But this truly is tragic that many will die waiting to get treatment or enter rehab.  If one has insurance, especially employer insurance, there will be no problem getting help.  But if one is poor and needs taxpa yer funding, good luck.  Very sad.”
