I don’t get it.

Is Biden just going through EVERYTHING Trump did, cancelling it just because?

Does he really want people to die from opioid addiction?

Has he cancelled the program to go after traffickers yet?

I’m not sure I can watch much more of this.

It seems that is exactly what they are doing. First of all, Biden isn't doing anything - it's Susan Rice or whoever. The rapidity of the EO rollout makes be believe they knew they would be able to steal the election & have been working on the EO's for a while to have them all ready.

We cheered them when Trump signed the EO's, but now Biden has taken it to a whole new level. We no longer need a legislative branch - it is dictatorial executive branch. The House & Senate have done nothing except impeachment. Who needs them if the President can just sign EO's all day?

The Washington Post on Monday reported President Biden was moving to halt his predecessor’s last-minute plan, which would have exempted many physicians from the “X” waiver — a two-decade-old requirement, first mandated by Congress, to undergo a day’s training before they could prescribe buprenorphine for opioid-use disorder. The Trump administration sought to go around Congress’s requirements by issuing new “clinical guidelines” that would have enabled doctors with a Drug Enforcement Administration narcotics-prescribing license to avoid the training.

President Donald Trump’s move was widely hailed by physicians, with the head of the American College of Emergency Physicians deeming it “a great day for our patients.”

“The X-waiver was an outdated and cumbersome barrier to treatment, and it exacerbated stigma for those struggling with opioid use disorder,” Mark Rosenberg, the head of the emergency-physician group, said in a statement at the time.

The Biden administration has been criticized by physicians and lawmakers since reports that the new president would halt Trump’s plan — particularly because as a candidate, Biden had criticized the prescribing rules and vowed to lift them if elected.

“Medication-assisted treatment can save lives, and the buprenorphine waiver requirement should be eliminated so that physicians can more easily prescribe it to those who need it,” Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) wrote on Twitter.

Sure does look like it. And he did away with the lowered prescription drug pricing. I think he’s doing it so he can redo it and take the credit for it, saying Trump didn’t do it right.

IMHO Joe doesn't really know what he is doing.

The "Real Fake Presidents Of The USA" stick folders and documents in front of him and tell him to sign them for the cameras.

Then they scroll a statement on the Teleprompter, tell him to read it for the cameras and hope he doesn't marble-mouth it too badly.
