Annndndddd the ER will be even more crowded with drug seekers who know we HAVE to see them and they don’t have to pay. Sweet.

Docs obviously can't be trusted to manage pain for those with severe, long-term, debilitating pain. (do I need a sarc tag?)

The government needs to saddle up and 'do something'.

Last I looked, Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, didn't authorize congress to do anything about drugs. Or medicine.

That's properly a State power under the police function of the State.
