Over-prescription is killing US youths

A recent report from BBC news, which was found by the Congressional Committee tasked with finding out the cause of this epidemic. In the past two years the town of Kermit West Virginia with a population of 400 was delivered 9 million opiod pills. 33,000 died of opiod overdose in 2015, and 50% of those deaths were prescription opiods. It is so easy now to get these drugs since one just an money hungry doctor to make the prescription. Gone is the Hippocratic oath once coveted.

How are doctors so enticed to write prescriptions. Kickbacks, and junkets. In 2016 $8 billion was spent by drug companies to "teach" hospitals about their drugs with 630,000 doctors showing payment records from pharmaceutical companies. It is always follow the money. These are all pushed by pharmaceutical reps who get overpaid to over push. Or "teach" doctors and hospitals to use their drugs for purposes they were not meant for, or are rare. The number of deaths means nothing to pharma and its reps. Nobody is personally accountable for the deaths from pharma drugs. If the US took this seriously then they should prosecute the pharma reps, doctors, and pharmacists. The drug companies have so much money they can withstand millions in fraud and civil lawsuit payments. Go after the pushers (Doctors, psychiatrists, sales representatives, and criminal pharmacists).

North Korea makes most of its money reproducing fraudulent pharmaceutical drugs, which they use to suppressed their people and make nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons and pharmaceutical companies ultimately can destroy this planet and its inhabitants. The US Healthcare industry profits in death and destruction just like Kim Jong-Un.

Everett Washington sues Purdue Pharma, claiming drug maker sold OxyContin to Gangs and Criminals

The Los Angeles Times- recently reported that a study has shown a surge in heroin use and OxyContin maybe to blame. The article indicated that the drug make Purdue Pharma aided and abetted crimes which created a surge in heroin overdoses across the country. The article indicated it was all for profits.
The suit has been brought by Everett, Washington after the article was released in January. It appears there is extensive evidence of the pharmaceutical company having knowledge that there drug was being bought and used in criminal activity. The pharmaceutical company was aware of the activity and didn’t report it to law enforcement.
The investigation by the newspaper showed that Purdue pharma supplied OxyContin to gangs and criminals. This caused a hung increase heroin in the Washington region, but this may have played out all over the nation.
According to Snohomish counties website there have been 29,000 deaths in the county from 1995-2014. They show a graph where the heroin death rate increased dramatically from 2011 thru 2014 while the subscription opioid overdose (OxyContin) show a continual increase from 2004-2014. It looks to us like the county has a case based on the evidence that Purdue Pharma was looking at profits and not care.
This is a continuous pattern shown by pharmaceutical companies in antidepressants and opioids. When you see a pharmaceutical commercial showing happy faces, and people enjoying life in the outdoors after using their pharmaceutical drugs. Try to picture a teenager strung-out on heroin, or OxyContin lying dead or almost lying in your street. These are teens and young adults who should be in a University studying, but their life is cut short. Or this same young adult attempting suicide while on antidepressants, of some ADHD drug.
Looks carefully at pharma’s ads. Do you really think a drug is going to make you happy?
