You're trolling you fucking smartass piece of shit.
that's really stupid on so many levels.
But it's sadly typical of the doo gooders who look at pain management as an inconvenience instead of legit medicine..
Five myths about heroin
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-d:homepage/story
overwhelmingly, prescription-drug misusers are not pain patients. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, more than 75 percent of recreational opioid users in 2013-14 got pills from sources other than doctors, mainly friends and relatives. Even among this group, moving on to heroin is quite rare: Only 4 percent do so within five years; just 0.2 percent of U.S. adults are current heroin users.
The proportion of patients who become newly addicted to opioid medications during pain treatment is also low. A 2010 Cochrane review — considered the gold standard for basing medical practice on evidence — found an addiction rate of less than 1 percent. A study of more than 135,000 emergency-room visits for opioid overdose found that just 13 percent of patients had a chronic pain diagnosis.
Further, a 2015 study showed that only 6 percent of those who received an initial prescription for opioids took the drugs for more than four months; the authors didn’t determine how many of those ongoing prescriptions were medically appropriate and what proportion were linked to addiction.
The real risk factor for opioid addiction is youth. Like 90 percent of all addictions, the vast majority of prescription-drug problems start with experimentation in adolescence or early adulthood, typically after or alongside binge drinking, marijuana smoking and cocaine use. Having a prior or current addiction to another drug is the best predictor of developing problems with prescription drugs — not pain care.

So I was right.
You blame Obama and the government for your problems.
What about personal responsibility and refusing to rely on the government?

So which is it?
Government regulation of highly addictive and widely-abused drugs is OK, unless you find it personally inconvenient?

Paritally?
Who else are you blaming, Mr. I-don't-rely-on-the-government?
Do you think it was Muslims that "chased big pharma/health insurance out of the market" and restricted "access to necessary medication"?
Oh, wait...maybe you think Obama is a Muslim?

it's the same old story with this administration. OVER-regulation to the point legit users are stuck in pain.
How about letting doctors be doctors??

That means thread banning me is your token of surrender. Wave the white flag, loser.

After years of relentless growth, the number of opioid prescriptions in the United States is finally falling, the first sustained drop since OxyContin hit the market in 1996.
For much of the past two decades, doctors were writing so many prescriptions for the powerful opioid painkillers that, in recent years, there have been enough for every American adult to have a bottle. But for each of the past three years — 2013, 2014 and 2015 — prescriptions have declined, a review of several sources of data shows.
Experts say the drop is an important early signal that the long-running prescription opioid epidemic may be peaking, that doctors have begun heeding a drumbeat of warnings about the highly addictive nature of the drugs and that federal and state efforts to curb them are having an effect.

That's his fault for being stupid.
