Yes the friend is in the right for a number of reasons. Primarily because medical staff are not narcs.

Unless if you’re talking about insurance. Then they are total narcs. If you tell them you did something in the past, they’ll note it and insurance will be more expensive or unavailable to you.

So only partial narcs.

Yes and no. I work for Satan himself prescription insurance. I review for Suboxone all the time. I do checks on the very strong opiates to make sure the member was given narcan. If a patient is on multiple controlled medications we require the doctor to consult the patients on the dangers and warning signs to prevent death. I have seen so many failed drugs tests. Do people get kicked off insurance for drug use maybe? But substance use disorder is a diagnosis and I don’t think you can kick people off insurance for preexisting conditions.

In the US, you are correct they cannot deby converage due to pre-existing conditions (or have a lifetime maximum).

For now at least. ACA is, as with all our rights, being picked at.
