If an oncologist prescribes pain killers and the Feds don't like it, they can break that doctor, take aways his livelihood, and even imprison him.
It's not the job of the Federal government to decide who gets pain pills, and how many they are allowed. That is a private decision between doctor and patient.
And yet we always hear how abortion (i.e. infanticide) is "a private decision" between a woman and her doctor. Evidently just like with humans, to the Federal government, some "private decisions" are more equal than others.

Very good points. We can’t “torture” a terrorist, but it is a “good” thing to withhold strong pain meds for a person dealing with very real pain.
I had a feeling that the actual data (as opposed to the statistics) would show that the “opioid crisis” is just another numbers game for the government to exert more control.
Exactly.
