The opioid crisis is caused by human nature.

Greed…..fear…..a desire to cheaply escape a poor reality…..aversion to pain…..

The problem with humanity is human nature.

Remember when Obama said the elderly should "Just take a pill."?

He then encouraged physicians to over prescribe pain medication by letting the patients decide how much is enough.

As an aside, I am in the town where an OxyContin junkie shot up a medical facility because he didn't get as much as he wanted.

Before my double hip surgery, I was prescribed Oxi/Hydro, and thus became addicted. That was in 2015 around the height of the opiate market. My doctor prescribed it, I trusted it. Withdrawals were no fun.

Since then, for alternative chronic pain, I take a natural substance many former opiate users take, and swear by it. This organic substitute works for depression, anxiety, etc. It’s not FDA approved, and the reason is it threatens Big Pharma’s monopoly and payout to Government.

I don’t believe we folks with chronic pain are part of the human norm, nor are we weak.

Let me rephrase, chronic pain is the human norm. One who does not have chronic pain can not speak into it.

We are not weak. We just want to live a viable life.

Yes, part of the Obamacare was evaluation of healthcare providers.
One point was to evaluate the patient pain treatment.
Practically the only way to completely control the pain is to prescribe opiates.
So, to boost their Obamacare rating, doctors started to overprescribe the opiates, with terrible consequences.
Yes, current opiate crisis has its roots in Obamacare!

My doctors and I decided it was to become addicted to opiates in my case and they gave me a prescription for ALL the Percodan I could eat, Unlimited for 3 months. My doctors scheduled me for 3 weeks in the hospital, 1 week to get clean, then surgery and 2 weeks to recover. I had NO REAL PAIN when I woke up, was clean and did not need the drugs anymore.

They don’t do this anymore, this was in 1979

Vaccine makers cause the opioid crisis like Dunkin’ Donuts is the cause of obesity.

And anybody who takes Russell Brand’s word on any topic involving sophisticated thought is already a drug overdose waiting to happen.

If we all lived until 40, none if this aging and chronic whathaveyou...

The more professionals talk about extending the age of people to around 80 as a median and up, the more I look at all the people and what they are suffering from especially after falling or a break...any number of things knees, cranky joints... and wondering if we were just really engineered for around 40 to 50 maybe 60 in a little beyond... sure would be a whole lot less medical probs.
