-We all know that it's an illegal heroin & fentanyl (from Mexico, China & Ukraine) flooding of the USA by the previous administration lack of enforcement.

-Did the Obama Administration purposely Reformulate Oxycontin (to stop addicts from injecting/inhaling it) so recreational addicts would buy it illegally from the D. web? Limit supply, increase demand.

-The Obama Adm. CDC, DEA knew back 2009 that over 78% of the Oxycontin addicts were buying it illegally off the streets or D. web. It was never a Doctor prescribed Opioid Epidemic. They all Lied!

-Why Did Obama's DEA (Asset Forfeiture Laws) go after Doctors instead of the drug dealers they let in (Fast n Furious guns for drugs)? Easy targets, assets, restrict supply to create demand for illegal opioids?

-All of a sudden Insurance companies including Medicare, Medicaid, etc covered & paid for Addiction Rehab centers services WITH A DUEL DIAGNOSIS. How Ironic!

-Despite frequent robberies and burglaries of pharmacies, doctors' offices, and warehouses where prescription medications are stored and sold, the DEA has focused a troubling amount of time and resources on the prescriptions issued by practicing physicians. It's easy to see why. Doctors keep records. They pay taxes. They take notes. They're an easier target than common drug dealers. Doctors don't shoot back and Doctors also often aren't aware of asset forfeiture laws.

-A physician's considerable assets can be divided up among the various law enforcement agencies investigating him before he's ever brought to trial.

-Over the last several years, hundreds of physicians have been put on trial for charges ranging from health insurance fraud to drug distribution, even to manslaughter and murder for over-prescribing prescription narcotics. Many times, investigators seize a doctor's house, office, and bank account, leaving him no resources with which to defend himself.

-Even if criminal charges are never filed a police dept can still bring a civil action against a suspected medical professional to recover the cost of an investigation.

But The DEA & SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) Give “Carte Blanche” & “Waivers to prescribe higher doses/limits of controlled substances” to Providers that prescribe “Addiction Therapy Drugs” that are more addictive, controlled substances, tagged the “lifetime therapy drug”, more severe withdrawal symptoms, more side effects and much more expensive!

-Addiction Drug Therapy buprenorphine $115.00 per week or $5,980.00 per year. Suboxone sells for $560 at CVS and $553 at Target for a 30-day supply, according to GoodRx.

-Addiction Drug Therapy naltrexone ( Vivitrol ) – up to $1200 to $1,176.50 per injection $1,176.50 per month or $14,112.00 per year.

-Addiction Drug Therapy Methadone $126.00 per week or $6,552.00 per year.

GO FIGURE!

Politicians Practicing Medicine Without A License For Profit!

Where is the war on "-Unintentional fall deaths: 34,673"

Where is the war on STDs " STD related bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of those infections”-CDC 2013

Where is the War on Alcoholic liver disease? Alcoholic liver disease deaths: 21,815

Why the Continued War on Chronic Pain Patients and Their Doctors when Physician Prescribed Opioids deaths: 17,029 (could even be lower ) Per CDC…

Because it is an estimated Multi-Billion Profit Scam…funded mostly by the tax payers.

Would it surprise you to know that the market for the addiction recovery industry is well in excess of $35 billion a year?

That is a 44% increase since 2009. By 2020, spending in estimated to reach $42 billion, representing a jump of another 20%. (my opinion, total profits from the fabricated profit created opioid scam is over $100 Billion…Org. Harv.)

How much money can be made on a single patient?

Professional intervention – $2500, plus expenses

Residential drug detox – at least $500 per day, lasting anywhere from 3 to 14 days

Inpatient drug rehab – between $6000 and $32,000, depending upon location and amenities. In fact high-end, “luxury” rehabs can cost over $100,000 for a 30-day stay.

Intensive outpatient programs – up to $10,000 per month

Partial hospitalization programs – between $350 and $450 per day

Sober living facilities – up to $2500 per month

Once-monthly administrations of Vivitrol – up to $1200 per injection

Sober coaches – up to $1900 per day, plus expenses and travel, usually with a five-day minimum

In addition to “addiction therapy Drugs”, is the multi-Billion Frequent Drug Testing Industry with an absurd failure rate. Etc

End the War on Chronic Pain Patients and their Physicians…This was never the cause of the fake RX prescribed opioid crisis for profit.

We all know that it was illegal heroin & fentanyl brought in from Mexico and China by the previous administration.

There are no coincidences

The fake Doctor prescribed Opioid crisis…

Report: Nearly half of combat veterans complain of chronic pain

Nearly half of a group of infantry soldiers who had seen combat in Afghanistan have reported experiencing chronic pain and 15 percent said they recently used opioid pain relievers, according to a study released Monday.

Of 2,597 active-duty Army troops surveyed three months after their redeployment, 44 percent said they experienced recurring or unceasing pain after returning from Afghanistan, according to the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine.

The number of soldiers affected by chronic pain was a surprise to researchers, said Robin L. Toblin, the lead author of the study, one of the first to quantify the impact of recent wars on the prevalence of pain and narcotic use among soldiers.

”War is really hard on the body,” said, Toblin, who is affiliated with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.

But she said that researchers didn’t expect that nearly half of young, otherwise healthy men who were not seeking medical treatment would suffer from chronic pain.

The percentage was far higher than an estimated 26 percent of chronic pain sufferers in a Kansas study of civilians ages 18 to 65. In that study, which looked at a group comparable to the soldiers — men aged 18 to 34 — only 15 percent reported chronic pain, Tobin said.

Chronic pain is defined as pain that continues beyond the normal time expected for healing or that accompanying chronic conditions like arthritis. It is associated with the onset of changes in the central nervous system that may adversely affect well-being, cognition, level of function and quality of life, according to the Defense Department’s Pain Management Task Force.

Opioids, whose pharmacological effects resemble morphine or other opiates, are strong medicines that can relieve pain caused by serious injuries.

Of the chronic pain sufferers, 48.3 percent reported pain duration of a year or longer. More than half — 55.6 percent reported nearly daily or a constant frequency of pain. About half — 51.2 percent — reported moderate to severe pain.

The survey did not ask for the location of the pain, Tolbin said.

The troops’ reported use of opioid pain relievers — 15.1 percent of all surveyed troops and 23 percent of those with chronic pain — was also far higher than the estimated civilian use of 4 percent. But that finding was less of a surprise, she Toblin said.

“ It’s consistent Army-wide,” she said. About a quarter of soldiers use opioids within a given year, she said.

The findings “suggest a large unmet need for assessment, management and treatment of chronic pain and related opioid use and misuse in military personnel after combat deployments,” the study authors note.

In commentary accompanying the study, Lt. Col. Dr. Wayne B. Jonas, and Lt. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker, both retired, said that the study raised concerns.

“The nation’s defense rests on the comprehensive fitness of its service members — mind, body and spirit. Chronic pain and use of opioids carry the risk of functional impairment of America’s fighting force,” they wrote.

According to a 2010 report by DOD’s Pain Management Task Force, “Pain is a disease state of the nervous system and deserves the same management attention given to any other disease states,” according to a 2010 task force report.

But pain management is a special challenge in military settings, the report said.”

“The transient nature of the military population, including both patients and providers, creates extraordinary challenges to providing continuity of care, something very important to pain management.”

Data for the JAMA study were collected in 2011 from an infantry brigade redeployed from Afghanistan, and most of the 2,597 survey participants were men, 18 to 24 years old, high school-educated, married and of junior enlisted rank. Nearly half - 45.4 percent - reported combat injuries.

And we owe Veterans everything…not to be in pain, not to be targeted for gun confiscations because they are a threat to a corrupt tyrannical government.
