Chinese Fentanyl has been flooding the U.S. market for years and now China says its changing its policy on the highly addictive painkiller. NBC’s Jacob Soboroff joins Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle to discuss if this is a game-changer for the opioid epidemic in the U.S. or just a good political move by China.

Say hello to the next in line HAPPY to fill a hole in the black market. I am sure they are more than ready to get started. Banning?
The CIA will find another source………
I know this has nothing to do with what is going on but why don’t the evil ones stop torturing animals? They are the biggest hypocrites and they all make me sick they shouldn’t be allowed to walk on our planet. Sorry for the rant, I truly am.
wait, ? So …. is my medtronic pain pump min jepordy ? As I will die …. like bye bye as the pain is so horrible my blood preassure will stress my heart to beyond what a muscule can tolerate. I am blind in left eye, so if this is not perfect.. excuse me.. I am a former stockbroker in CA, USA so not stupid… but I will die in agony, pleading for a bullet if my ” medication” is taken away. It happened when pain Dr. put in new pump 5/6/2017. ( if you rember dates.. they were very meaningful… and please remember I only have sight in one eye: so editing this,, is hard…) if, and I say if, they are taking my medication away…AGONY. i HAVE SURVIVED being a SEVERLY battered woman, stage III advanced breast bcancer, a three ( 3) month long coma from respitory failure… and all the heart WE all go through. If they take my medication from me……Steve please, send reply
I used fentanyl for 13 years with great results .I don’t understand why or government would allow an effective medicine to be shelved. Their ignorance is killing us.
However it started, …”opioid crisis” now supplies many with a fake but effective sort of ‘moral high ground’ that we have sought desperately since 9/11, very valuable for winning elections or promotions and to create followers championing the cause of peace as they are trying to sell it. Most people do not see the pain patients or the disabled or mentally handicapped and opiates can cause death. Plus there is a tom of money to be made. Yes Steve, it’s very far below real peace. I am so sorry. I thought I had pneumonia, now, 6 months later it turns out I am rather deep into COPD from all my immobility. I told Doc not to include me with “opioid crisis”. It didn’t matter to him at all.
*followers FOR THOSE championing the cause…
*Most people grabbing a bite of ‘life’ do not see the pain patients or the disabled or mentally handicapped or the elderly or children…
The Fentanyl they are trying to keep from coming into the US is illicit Fentanyl not legally prescribed Fentanyl that you would be using. Illicit Fentanyl has been shipped in from China and is added to Heroin and is the leading cause of overdoses in the United States currency Not prescription opiates that are being prescribed to chronic pain patients
i WOULD NOT KNOW WHERE TO BUY STREET DRUGS IF YOU HAD A GUN TO MY HEAD, ( sigh of relief… but the way this country is going, would not surprise me… I can openly say that.. as I was raised by a J. Bircher( very conservative family… atually went to school with Ethan Wayne)
