"Previous estimates of the economic cost of the opioid crisis greatly underestimate it by undervaluing the most important component of the loss — fatalities resulting from overdoses,"

Seems to me that would be the biggest money saver.

The opioid crisis is real. How can I tell? There’s still people here that think Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller are working with Trump to bring down the swamp.

If, indeed, they have spent that much of the taxpayers’ money on this, then there should be some indictments, trials, and convictions.

This is not what Trump was elected to fix.

All of the local ones were potheads years before they got into meth, Xanax, opioids, etc.

The “Opioid Crisis” — another great idea brought to you by the Federal centralized control center in Washington DC. “We’re the Swamp!”

“Pain is the fifth vital sign.”

“Make sure you give then some IV narcotics right away in the ER if anything hurts at all, and then send them home with some.”

“As long as they really have pain, they won’t get addicted.”

“It’s patient abuse if you don’t treat their pain as much as they think they need as soon as possible. In fact, if they are old we will prosecute you for elderly abuse if you don’t treat pain as much as they want!”

JCAHO is a minion of the Feds, that strikes fear into hospitals when they come around to make hospitals toe the line. When JCAHO says jump, hospitals do.

JCAHO was the instrument that the Feds used to MAKE much of the “Opioid Crisis.”

Will they apologize for their monster now that they are desperately trying to swing the pendulum the other way? Nah...

Hell, why not make it a cool trillion why we’re pulling numbers out our nether regions?

Is this really the best, most wonderful crisis this crack team (pun intended) can come up with? No killer asteroids, or exotic disease scares? What about the incalculable cost of potholes that are ravaging the country?

The only thing worse than the endless rants or the Never-Trumpers are the pronouncements by a Justice Department that overlooks corruption at the highest levels to waste time and money on junkies and sentencing those with chronic pain to a life of suffering because of misplaced government concern.

How is it conservatives who rail against Obamacare praise the drug warriors who want to get between a patient and their doctor when it comes to pain medication? As Reagan famously said, the most terrifying words in the English Language: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help...”

It is a heroin and fentanyl epidemic and it all about open borders and not defending the country from the gangs roaming around, terrorizing cities and towns.
