        How about addressing the obvious link between the pharmaceutical companies and the opioid crisis? I don't see that in the plan anywhere. Let me guess, the pharmaceutical companies are lining someone's pockets.

        I wouldn't be surprised if big pharma suggested this themselves. Get everyone on opioids and prescribe another drug to "cure" their addiction.

        More pushing for off label uses of drugs that are inadequate for their designed uses, charge arm & leg of off label use, make as much $$ as possible before they are found out to be dangerous.

        I'm sure a stronger push, with fewer regulations, more price hikes than ever before. Have to get that profit before the fan gets hit.

        Maybe before you get a Rx for opioids you should have to watch a film strip about addiction and overdose...much like the educational material proposed for women seeking an abortion.

        Here's a thought, just spitballing here but how about a substance that has documented evidence of pain relief & management without addicitive properties & side effects? National Legalization of Marijuana would cut these numbers to zero but sadly no big lobbyists. #LegalizeIt 🌱

        No profit for Big Pharma, they will fight it tooth and nail. $$ before anything else, have to protect profits regardless of damages done to the public.

        This looks like a great starting framework, but are you sure @realDonaldTrump agrees? All I heard about from him was how enacting the death penalty for individuals selling opioids would solve the problem. Your thoughts, sir?
