THE cause of the opiod crisis was the Obama administration making pain a part of vital signs.

Doctors had to describe these pills if anyone was in pain of face lawsuits and disciplinary actions.

The cause of the opioid crisis was the rise in illegal drug market which was facilitated by government bureaucracies, money laundering banks and the police state.

There weren’t hardly any lawsuits for inadequate pain control, you could list them on your hand.

Sessions was the scumbag that pushed this to the extreme; the leftists and statists in the doj went right along with it becuse they saw easy targets. It’s a lot harder to go after drug lords and gangs; they don’t have addresses and regular bank accounts. The people in these agencies are statists and leftists and don’t want to go up against hardened targets.

yep. plus it was a significant part of their treatment rating, which controlled payment levels, and even whether their hospital could remain open.
