Wonder if Gary Mendell feels good demonizing opioid pharma’s influence, while his board member Thomas McLellan sits on Indivior’s board! Price of doing business, huh

#AndrewKolodny also sits along-side McLellan on #Shatterproof’s board. They’ve lobbied relentlessly to force the CDC guidelines into state and federal laws. This has caused irreparable harm and to this day, goes unchecked.

Here, McLellan lists MAT and “evidence-based” treatments, seeing the gold-mine in changing insurance funding requirements to not only mandate MAT (Suboxone, etc) but to pay more to treatment programs that offer this. Mendell expands on this w/his program. huffpost.com/entry/stopping…

The last pic showing how Mendell urges the federal govt to think of practicing medicine by limiting opioids(mmes, rx amt, etc) in the same way as speed limits.
