I suspect there's some truth to it but he's probably exaggerating. Where I live it is possible to get heroin injections covered by government healthcare. but not just anyone can get it, there are a lot of barriers of entry. you have to try and fail to get stable on suboxone and methadone multiple times and then you'll get dilaudid and if that doesn't work AND you can get a doctor to sign off on it ( which is extremely difficult), you'll get supervised heroin injections. Happy to be proven wrong, I kind of doubt its easy as this user implies.
