I refuse to buy into the opioid hysteria.

Less than 1% of the USA adult population were treated in the ER or died from opioid drug use in 2018.

Also important, almost two thirds of opioid-related ER visits are paid for by Medicaid.

That means that opioid use is heavily concentrated in low income groups - it is not an epidemic for middle class and upper middle class families.

Okay. Then what?

Red flag all positives. Take their guns, if any.
