    The former chairman of Purdue Pharma, which makes OxyContin, has won another patent for an opioid addiction treatment. Some experts are worried this patent could keep treatment prices high.https://n.pr/2OXWF2X

        Maybe this was part of their plan all along. Create the problem, then offer a “cure.”

        One company -- controlled by one super-wealthy family -- profits from human suffering both coming and going. This kind of parasitical economic plundering needs to die in a fire. Horribly. 😡😡😡

        Does nobody see awful evil of this? They built sales network that pushed an addictive drug thru medical professionals patients trusted. Now have another drug that treats addiction they caused. Preyed on those afflicted with pain in most mercenary ways so they can be RICH.

        So they not only make the drug to make people addicted, they make the drug to help with the addiction...that they created. Talk about a win-win money maker....

        Considering how much of Big Pharma's R&D has been funded by grants and Government coin, Americans deserve better treatment than this. Most countries CAP the prices of drugs utilized in Government programs at the very least. We should be capping prices for Medicare-Medicaid, etc.

        I’m worried that the opiod hysteria is fueled by people & companies now lining their pockets with substance abuse treatments.
