@mjhegar hi there. So there’s another crisis happening that never gets reported by MSM, nor acknowledged by almost every politician- including Cornyn. Chronic/intractable pain patients have been swept up in this illicit opioid crisis, being forced off of meds they’ve taken for 1)
2) years with no problems. The result are many hundreds of suicides, lost jobs and being forced onto disability and millions forced to now suffer with pain every single minute of their lives. The pill mills and criminal Drs had to go, no doubt. A national tragedy. What say you?
These patients are being lumped into the same category as those who addict and they are dying because of it. Do you agree that government needs to stay out of dr’s offices? Do you agree that the government needs to stop the practice of telling doctors what they can and can’t do?
There are up to 50 million chronic and intractable pain patients in our country and we all have voting power, which is why I’m asking. #painpatientsvote
I believe we have the ability to swing elections 👍🏻
Lastly, do u believe members of Congress should have term limits? If so, what do personally recommend? Lifetime politicians are not swayed by public opinion and real individual issues. They are swayed by their donors 2!keep them n power, like the insurance industry and big pharma
Sorry, but one more. We have seen MSM continually blast out lies and a false narrative to the American public about this “opioid epidemic.” Their only concern is pushing an “opiates are evil” narrative - hardly ever mentioning the plight of millions of real patients. Why is this?
