      Last year alone, 1.4m more Americans started abusing prescription opioids, and each day, 51 more people are killed by an overdose.

      Too often, the overprescription of opioids leads patients down a path of addiction & even death. Congress must take action to save lives.

          More often opioids can save lives & sanity for those in horrific pain. Don't penalize victims because others abuse legit meds

          Opioid prohibition would be worse than alcohol. It would rob sufferers of their best shot to lessen pain. No puritans needed

          In general, too many direct to consumer pharma ads are costing us billions -as well as unnecessary side effects.

          what about chronic pain patients, often disabled? How are you protecting them? Don't take care decisions away from them.

          how do opioid deaths compare to alcohol? You won't stop addicts only hurt those who actually need medication.

          good for you. This a grave subject often lost in the endless gun debate, transgender bathrooms and what Trump had for lunch.

          Maybe the real problem is it's nearly impossible to get into rehab unless you have $$$, instead of just blaming docs.

          Congress is not the fixer, it is usually the problem. Drug companies are introducing new drugs to combat it.
