Meth users need healthcare in LA, says Mayor Bass

Meth use rots the teeth, she notes. You cannot succeed without teeth, she laments. Oh? So that's the taxpayer's duty to fix what someone else broke?

How about not using meth?

This is nuts?

Karen Bass: “How many people, who are unhoused, that you meet have no teeth at all? They don’t have teeth, why? Because meth rots your teeth. YOU CAN’T SUCCEED WITHOUT TEETH! So there needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people.”
