Our govt wants to restrict new scripts for pain meds to only those with low risk, based on machine learning. @tomcoderre, asst sec of mental health at SAMSA, is involved in this. Where is the ethics committee?

⬇️This being the case, imagine how those already marginalized in the prison system will now be considered too high-risk to receive a pain med rx. Unbelievable. Image

October of 2017, AGs wrote letters to 15 PBMs, which were based on the cdc guidelines. No wonder ppl report issues getting RXs….portal.ct.gov/AG/Press-Relea…
Here’s are the letters. I’m now understanding why CVS (along with BCBS) was allowed to be on the special voting committee for the Purdue case. A few examples in the screenshots ⬇️ Did they make a deal, I wonder?😡

I was personally harmed by what CVS (Caremark) did here. Tomorrow I’ll be digging up the paperwork to post to show evidence of them trying to force/taper me down. They didn’t just use the cdc acute gls, they did a 50 mme limit for even “legacy” CP patients.

Listen at 1:41:40! We need to be reaching out to Orrin Hatch ASAP. He calls out the fact that the expert witnesses (like Kolodny & Rannazzisi) and the AGs are using congress to further their narrative to completely vilify the opioid pharma industry.

Here’s the article with the quote Hatch referred to: bloomberg.com/news/features/… ImageImage

I don’t have time to delve, but the highlighted comments in the 6 screenshots, warrant a good look at the citations.

@LennonMaclean And guess what I found the other day? That the interventional pain industry groups that have recommended these as SOP for cpps are using doing this on purpose and then telling the govt that it’s cheaper in the long run to do procedures (SCS’s and IT pumps) More to come on this…
@LennonMaclean Letter from AGs in Sept 2017, to America’s Health Insurance Plans, “To encourage healthcare providers to prioritize non-opioid pain mgmt. options over opioid prescriptions for the treatment of chronic, non-cancer pain.” I noticed this gem from #TimDeer

@LennonMaclean Here’s the 2016 Business Insider article Deer was cited in in the above letter. He went on to be an expert witness in opioid litigation. Seems like his loyalty to the AGs’ efforts on the WVA opioid task force, payed off.

I know many of you will recognize the Sandgaard name due to their non-profit group the Sandgaard foundation. Did you know their founder is the CEO of a Colorado pain device company? They formed a group to combat opioids, which also sets them up financially zynexmed.investorroom.com/2021-07-29-Zyn…
Here are some screenshots gathered from various sites that help highlight my concerns: zynex.com/company/
