In other words it's hard. We've known about this for a decade or more so that's not an excuse. One obvious place to start is to stop the gravy train for big Pharma. But of course no administration wants to regulate because of the obvious corruption at both low and high levels of government by pharma dollars.
And once again the question has to be asked if you held President Obama in his over 2200 days in office to the same standard as you're holding President Trump in his 19 days?
Hey, you're out of line. Lots of intelligent voters from each of these states did not support Trump-o in any way, shape, or form. 1,000 people rallied in downtown Lexington, KY just yesterday in opposition to Trump and his policies (which do not deserve to be dignified by calling them "policies"). Previously last week, over 500 Lexingtonians, a capacity crowd, met at a local church to learn more about the refugee crisis from city leaders.. Similar rallies have been held in Louisville, Berea, northern Kentucky and elsewhere in our commonwealth. We're just warming up.
My town is blue and beautiful. My state is beautiful as well, but fell victim to outside interests and out of state ownership of natural resources long ago. Eastern Kentucky is a beautiful but sadly damaged place as a result of this history and what came after.
Many eastern Kentuckians bought Trump's line about caring for them and bringing coal back. No sign of it anywhere yet, and we're not going to see it. Eventually they'll either figure it out - or find some way to blame the Democrats for Trump's broken promises yet again.
Do come visit, though. You'd enjoy yourself - and learn quite a lot. You'd be surprised.
Over 5,000 people rallied in downtown Louisville one day, and thousands more other days.
I thought you nuts wanted ALL drugs legalized? I also thought it wasn't anyone's business what someone puts in their bodies. Stop the fake outrage here and let these people die if they want to.
So what though. My MIL has been on them for years due to severe chronic orthopedic pain after many surgeries. They allow her to live a semi normal life. If they are removed she will not be able to function and will be bedridden.
A semi-normal life at the almost guaranteed expense of becoming physical addicted. There are non-opiod painkillers.
This is a real commercial and big pharm is investing a lot to deal with an unfortunate side effect of opiod use, constipation. This aired during last years SuperBowl.

So you enjoy the current police state? Marijuana legalization would be a great start as we pour too much money into law enforcement instead of public health.
A wall will help stem the flow of illegal drugs into the US.
Based on what? The Southern border is the most crossed border in the world with ~25 million monthly legal crossings. The cartels own legitimate businesses and truck those drugs across or they build tunnels.

Your google broke? Go educate yourself what Obama did.
What race are you? So many of your posts seems to be some sort of anti white/ anti middle america and very racial.
No, they're not.
You have a hypersensitive perception of things that might be construed as "anti-white". Middle America isn't just white.
Addiction affects all races/ethnicities/nationalities.
