        They promoted these drugs despite their addictive properties and ignored patterns of mass over-prescription by certain doctors. Hold them accountable!

        Let's not forget their partners - "Drug wholesalers shipped 9 million pain pills over two years to a single West Virginia pharmacy."

        Every city should do this! Big pharma should be held accountable. Only they are responsible for paying for any treatment or trainings needed in every town they sell their drugs; not us taxpayers.

        GTFOH people take medications because they need it and when they're better they stop. If you don't stop your an addict with other combined problems and likely used that as a or part of a crutch. Don't prevent those who really need it because others "claim" I'm addicted after use!

        This is absurd. Are you going to sue all of the alcohol beverage manufacturers for alcoholism and alcohol related deaths?

        The tragedy is the lack of public education about our own health and wellness, we ignore our pains, popping pills and ignoring or never seeing the data

        And the owners of the company just got billions of dollars in tax relief from the government that says it’s serious about the problem. They should have to pay for treatment.

        America’s great cities are doing what the federal government should be doing. Instead @realDonaldTrump is doing nothing.

        Sadly, more chronic pain sufferers will be denied legal relief by scared doctors. Some will suffer on, others will turn to street drugs, others will suicide.
