in 10 yrs, my opioid dose never changed. it’s all a bunch of lies!
“cash-based services”? Is that the new euphemism for completely market-driven health care? That’d sure get rid of lots of excess population in a hurry. don’t want all those useless, parasitic poor folk wasting oxygen, anyway; maybe they should just shoot everyone the day they become unable to work any more.
Yeah! Libertarians want to portray a world where we can barter chickens and firewood for medical care. They conveniently forget that Ayn Rand, went on Medicare, when she came down with cancer.
Market based healthcare brought us these problems after all this has been profitable. For a price they got physicians, psychiatrists and psychologists to tell us the pain was good for us, it built character, as the peddled books about pain free living for those that could afford it. The expensive alternatives were good for the market.
Libertarians have a lot of money behind their slick alternative reality, they lobbied against regulations that would have protected us all from this disastrous healthcare system.
In lthis video, I lost my respect for Dr. Kyle Varner’s knowledge regarding chronic pain patients (BIG TIME) just after the 58 minute mark when he said that (basically) for chronic pain that lasts over 6 months, treatment with opioids is not effective and the opioid dose will increase. “For non-cancer chronic pain, for long term opioid use, people are in just as much pain on opioids as they are off opioids after a long period of time”…”out beyond 6 months to a year”. This is BS pure and simple.
Watch the video series by Doctor Thomas Kline to learn the truth.
