Maybe the chronic pain community needs to listen to the two Presidential candidates ?

 

 

 

 

There is an estimated 116 million chronic pain pts and in the last president election.. there was 5 million votes between the winner and loser and an estimate 106 million eligible voters – DIDN’T VOTE !

Our country cannot be GREAT.. if we keep denying millions of chronic pain pts their necessary medication and intentionally throwing them out of a productive life and their quality of live for them and their families – INTO THE CRAPPER !

More people showed for a protest in a small RI town (pop 16,000) over a man who wrote a letter to a editor about women wearing yoga pants in public… than showed up for a recent national rally supporting appropriate pain care for chronic pain pts.

Just in the last few days to Governors (Vermont & Arizona) have come out to set daily opiate limits that pts can have.  Another state governor assumes the authority to practice medicine without a license ?  The question has to be asked… do these Governors and other politicians/bureaucrats that are attempting to practice medicine without a license… have any LEGAL AUTHORITY to do what they are doing ?

Unless they are challenged in our courts… they are going to continue TO DO AS THEY PLEASE … There is more and more information being published that chronic pain pts are not abusing their medications and >90% of those ODing on opiates do not have a legal prescription for the opiate that shows up in toxicology.

STRONGER TOGETHER…. if someone puts together a organization to create a legal defense fund to challenge all these possible ILLEGAL ACTIONS… and if just TEN PERCENT of the chronic pain community contributed the cost of a fast food lunch $5- $7.50… ONE TIME … SEVENTY MILLION (70,000,000.00) could be raised…  for a “war chest”.

The BEST LAW FIRMS in the country would be beating a path to the chronic pain community’s door… wanting to defend your rights that have been taken away.

There is no WHITE KNIGHT or a person name “george” coming over the horizon to save your ass… the anti-opiate groups are being well funded by groups that have FOR PROFIT companies that attempt to treat people suffering from addictive substance disorder and the various State/Federal agencies and opiophobic bureaucrats.

You can’t sue the government… but… the legality of their actions can be challenged in a court of law.  A few of their edicts/mandates are declared illegal/unconstitutional… it will stop them in their tracks on implementing any more of these basic violations of human rights.
