You don't say.

Yeah and all those PPI’s that cause kidney and esophagus cancer but must be those junkets?

Because no one is responsible for their own bad decisions.

KTLA If Republicans can't send people to their death through wars then they are willing to profit from the deaths through the stock market via the pharmaceutical industry. The GOP's bottom line: Rich people deserve more.

Big Pharma are the New Cartels!

Whooopsieeeee

Big pharma and the doctors need to be held accountable, particularly Doctors!

There is a national emergency. But it is not at the border; it's in the heartland and it is called opioids. Number of people dying from it is staggering-in tens of thousands every year.

KTLA The article is missing the point. Meals, are not just provided to Doctors. Every pain management Dr I have ever been to has drug reps in and out of their office delaying the patients time in office. They cater a complete lunch for the entire staff, not just one Dr. That adds up $

KTLA Doctors should not be financially incentivized for choosing one drug over another. It is their duty to find the best treatment for their patients.

“Do no harm”.

and the feds don't want to legalize cannabis

KTLA What are these opioids being prescribed? Are they common drugs?

As usual, it’s follow the money.

uummm...daahhh

I don’t need to be convinced that the Drs are getting a big pay day at the cost of people’s lives. Guess that is one way to cull the population🙄 OpioidCrisis

Tell your doctor you dont want opioids or codeine they have no help for you
