    .@HHSGov is proud to support the new opioids campaign, which reflects a recommendation from the President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis. We will continue the department’s work to educate the public about opioid addiction. http://opioids.thetruth.com pic.twitter.com/z2P2nxEi4f

        Please repeal or suspend CDC guidelines for being enforced as laws with no legal basis. Their are no provision for height/ weight. A CDC officer said woman's 90mme should be reduced to 45. Why do you all think suicide sre so high. I have lost so many friends. #Patientsnotaddicts

        What will HHS be doing to ensure millions of Americans can keep access to their medically necessary Rx opioid pain medication? Millions of patients are being forced tapered or flat out denied meds. A truth no one is talking about & people are taking their lives from pain.

        Addiction starts with illicit pills and street drugs. Statistics also show the opiod epidemic lie is creating more customers for street drug dealers. Prescription pain pills aren’t nearly as strong as street drugs(exc fentanyl)and you know it. This is A very misleading ad.

        Addiction disease has not increased relative to the total population, unless you include things like overeating and Internet/phone addiction. This is a terrible poster. This implies you truly have no idea WHY overdoses and suicides are increasing. Incredible.

        Prescribing opiate pain meds are way down. While overdose deaths from illicit heroin and fentanyl is skyrocketing, the numbers speak for themselves taking ppl off of pain meds isn't helping or saving anybody if anything it's made the problem worse

        Please don't forget those pain management patients who depend on medication to live a normal life. They are finding it more and more difficult to get them. Please help them survive. What is happening now is cruel, edging on inhumane. They should not have to suffer.

        Stop criminalizing pain and stop the War on Pain Patients. Problems are truckloads of fentanyl heroin meth coming across the border--NOT rx pain medicine. Innocent law abiding taxpaying pain patients tired of being treated like criminals by Orwellian system
