I'm lucky enough to not be on regular medication anymore, but some of my as-needed meds cost $140 without insurance. It's pretty steep.
Layoffs are a thing. Do people just die if they can't afford their meds? I know several people who are staying in their soul crushing jobs because of the benefits. Precarious contract work and part time workers don't get benefits.
We need pharmacare for all.

Do trans people not face enough systemic barriers?
I left Reddit with the API fiasco and never looked back. Happier without it.

I live next to one such clinic in a huge city. It sure beats having neighbours OD in your backyard or shoot up on the sidewalk. There was a small vocal minority worried about their law and order who tried to shut down the site, and hundreds of neighbours showed up to tell them to pound sand.
Safe supply is healthcare. The people accessing safe supply and safe injection sites are much more likely to be getting help.
Will this still be the case after the layoffs? https://www.readthemaple.com/cbc-union-says-it-was-promised-no-job-cuts-this-year/
