I agree. The NY government is like a protection racket when it comes to wheedling out money from pharmaceutical companies at the expense and suffering of the patients who need it. ‘’Hey there doc, nice batch of medicine you made there. Yeah, gonna help the sick widows and kids, yeah. Be a shame if ah, some how it didn't get state approval, wouldn't it , huh? All them sick folks, no where to turn. Tell ya what I can do. if you just kick back, ah, er, donate a little ‘’honorarium’’ to my campaign, ah, ha ha, I mean ‘’foundation that approval is as good as a done deal , ya know?’’

Recently I had a pacemaker implanted and the surgeon nicked a corner of my lung and partially collapsed it. It has sine been healed but the pain was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. because fluid had built up in my chest I couldn't lay down in order to sleep. I had to sleep sitting propped up with pillows on my living room couch. In addition to sleeping pills my doctor prescribed he proscribed Oxycodone, not Oxycontin but Oxycodone. I'll tell you, the look that woman pharmacist gave me when I went to have the prescription filled you'd think I just mugged her or something. It's a Shop Rite pharmacy five minutes from my house, I've been getting scripts filled there for years and yet this woman was looking me up and down like I was going to rob the place. I was so tempted to get in her face ans say "IS THERE A PROBLEM, YOU'VE BEEN CHECKING ME OUT FOR THE LAST FIVE MINUTES LIKE I"M GOING TO PULL A STICK UP!. But we know where that kind of thing would have ended me up.
