Opioids & U.s. Senate (Page 3)

U.S. Senate has succumbed/conspired with health providers to practically eliminate severe or chronic pain med for the elderly. Some 16,800 deaths of young drug mixing punks & the cost of providing these meds; has caused the low level intelligence & greedy health providers to furiously lobby (bribe) the U. S. Senate to order a 40% decrease in severe/chronic meds for the elderly; not for young drug mixing "punks" because they will mix something else. It has been shown that the Senate members have been drunk or half drunk in decisions like this. Proof of the aforesaid? here it is: the Senate ignores 1.6 millions of deaths & or severe mutilations due to alcohol. Senators have never done heavy strenuous work that by the time you are 65/70 years old, everything hurts to a more or lesser degree. If the elderly & or severely injured/impaled were allowed to obtain these meds, even at a higher cost, they would be able to live somewhat normal lives & still be productive members of society. Solution: health providers should increase the charge to patients to cover costs and anyone under 60 years of age should be scrutinized thoroughly & no one should be allowed to take more than 3 or 4 10 MG per day. I have been taking 2 a day for 16 years & consider myself an expert on the subject. Anything more than 4 10 MG a day, would categorize you as an addict, according to all expert doctors on the subject.

REPORT

12 months of investigative reporting & statistics from several governmental agencies; have shown without equivocation, that the opioids epidemic is a "politico economical" strategy used by the unscrupulous but powerful CEOs of several nationwide, heath providers, in conjunction with just as unscrupulous -but half drunk- members of Congress, that fanned the spread of a fabricated or exaggerated opioids epidemic. Proof of the false alarm, came out of health & other governmental agencies, that quantified the deaths attributed to "addicted" opioid users. Figures vary from 15,000 to over 20,000. BUT, all agencies, governmental or other, agree that practically all of those deaths were people under 50 years of age. Which brings us to the same conclusion: "young punks" (as people call them) are preventing us -the elderly- from taking our much needed pain killers, that allow us to live our lives in tolerable pain & still trying to be productive members of society. Our call & cry goes out to unscrupulous health providers & Congresspersons; to make adjustments on the "per pill price" so as not to cause an insurmountable burden difficult to absorb on all health providers. $1.00 or even $2.00 "per pill" could be justified, as long as we, the elderly can live in somewhat tolerable pain.
