@SW-User Wow, hold on now, you totally misquoted me. I never said i "hate capitalism!" You misconstrued that entirely. I was reacting to the incorrect comments about Chinese manufacturers. China and India do produce medications in their raw forms that are shipped to the US to be used in both prescription and OTC medications. So me have been diverted to illicit use as well. But, saying it can't sed the epidemic of deaths is inaccurate. This was started in the 1990s when there was a concerted effort , both innocently and perhaps nefariously, to increase the use of pay n therapy, aka opioids, in treatment of pain. This led to overuse of these powerful medications and increased addiction.
Do you have any idea about the false information pushed to physicians about the dangers of opioids and the financial incentives paid to physicians by several pharmaceutical company companies? Are you unaware of the legal settlements against the companies? You might want to check the suits against Perdue, J and J and McKeeson. That has been reported by most major media.
Again this is not a political discussion discussion, it is public health.
