The problem is these drugs are a flat miracle for those who legitimately need it. Seen it with my own eyes.

When the government gets involved, all that will happen is those who abuse the drugs will still get them and those who legitimately are helped will be so inconvenienced that they do without.

The answer is never more government.

The answer is never more government.

That sums up the problem succinctly. A prescription comes along that helps some people with certain problems and suddenly it is the new "wonder drug" with every physician prescribing it for every patient who comes into their office. Then, the government gets involved and starts over-regulating it, or promoting it, and suddenly the people who need it can't get it, and those who do not need it are prescribed too much.

Then government starts regulating the price and the number of pills a person can be prescribed a month, patients have to go to their doctor each and every month to get a new prescription and co-pays have to be paid each time. People see it advertised on TV with a reminder to "ask your doctor if "Killum" is right for you!" It's a big money maker for all involved, except the patients. And for some, it does more harm than good.
