I am not here for a political debate, only to direct readers to the facts. You are free to reach your own conclusions. I found Joe Biden’s “Plan to End the Opioid Crisis” here on his campaign’s website:

https://joebiden.com/opioidcrisis/

When I looked for a similar plan on President Trump’s campaign site, I did not find anything, but did find this: a record of his healthcare achievements, which includes a sub-head dedicated to opioids:

I read the above biden.com page on opioidcrisis and it is about 4000 words and abt 95%+ was about opiate addiction and the remaining mentioned the use of less addicting pain meds and various other alternative therapies.  Biden wants treatment for alcohol abuse as well, but not a single word about Nicotine abuse that kills about 450,000/yr.

As I finished reading that biden.com page, I came to the conclusion that the campaign’s opinion that there is little difference between opiate use/abuse and a pt taking opiates long term to help their address their unrelenting chronic pain and optimizing their QOL.   Biden’s position paper seems to blame just about everyone for the causing the abuse of opiates, except Congress that first created the “black drug market” with the Harrison Narcotic Act 1914 and the Decade of pain law that Congress passed in 2000 and encouraged the adequate treatment of a pt’s pain and hospitals – in particular – were required to include a “pain question” on questionnaires pts were asked to submit in how they were treated during their hospital stay.

According to this person’ s IP address suggests that he is in the Seattle/Bellevue, Washington area, but he could be using a VPN and could be no where near there. His email domain ltc-associates.com  brings up a company that sells long term care insurance. I am not sure how many times he has read anything from my blog but I do know that this is the first time that he has taken time to post a comment.

According to this https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/states-that-have-consistently-remained-democratic.html the state of Washington is one of the 16 BLUE WALL STATES… consistently vote democratic.

I try to educate and motivate the community to defend for themselves.  But anyone who believes that you can ignore what politicians and bureaucrats are doing.. especially when it is adversely impacting them… is extremely naive.

It is claimed that there are 100 million chronic pain pts and many believe that showing up for a demonstration/protest at a specific location a few times a year will hopefully cause change to happen.  When only a few dozen are able to make the demonstration the optics sort of reminds one of the old Wendy’s commercial   “where’s the beef” ?

Louisville, KY is in my “back yard” and that is where briona taylor was killed… when a no knock warrant and the cops showed up at the wrong house and she was shot EIGHT TIMES while she slept in her bed.   Nightly protests – involving hundreds/thousands – now in its THIRD MONTH, and what has changed in Louisville, KY.  There was three cops involved … one has been fired and two put on administrative reassignment.

The chief of police has resigned, but he had already announced that he was retiring before all these riots started happening. around 100 have been arrested and homicides are dramatically up.

Joe Biden promises to ‘cure cancer’ if elected president

then there is this little “promise” … The Americacn Cancer Society has been working on finding a cure for cancer for 107 yrs.. and Biden is going to make that happen in < 4 yrs … if he is elected President ?  What other promises that he is making are just “pipe dreams” ?
