“The moral test of a government is how it treats those who are at the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadow of life, the sick and the needy, and the handicapped.” – Hubert Humphrey

Heroin Addicts get heroin and Chronic Pain Patients get Denied Medications because the heroin addicts abused heroin due to Opiate medications that Chronic Pain Patients didn’t abuse, with Tax money partially paid from the Chronic Pain Patients Taxes who are still not able to get pain medications from their doctor because the CDC guidelines the doctors have to follow are saying Pain Patients might due what the government is giving to the Heroin addicts to due it is safer to give Heroin to Heroin Addicts than opiate and other pain medication to Pain Patients. All based upon the idea that the Heroin addicts wouldn’t be Heroin addicts if the Pain Patients not abusing their medications never would have gotten their medications. Also the misuse of the theory of the “disease” of Addiction that is over 100 years old! Then when people act emotionally to that, they too must have that disease and if they don’t agree they are in denial and can be refused medical care unless they sign a contract giving up their Constitutional Rights”! Lets send the Cops after the doctors and leave the border open too! That will work great! (((Does this sound like the people behind this stupidity don’t have a clue what they are doing, or are they very diabolical and need to be dealt with somehow))) ?? Maybe they will be???
Charlie, you hit it square on the head! I have tried to figure out just where the mind of the idiots who make these stupid decisions are and the only thing I can come up with is their heads are firmly up their butts!!
Jagee, It does seem that to make a safe effective place for treating pain would be a good answer but it wouldn’t meet the government agenda. I will never understand why addicts are more important than those of us who suffer through no fault of our own but it is the way it seems to be.
Mr. Mayor, can you also make pain clinics where the doctor’s doesn’t have to worry about their job & actually legally prescribe chronic pain patients the life saving opioid medication that work for them individually. Be able to work with the patient in a kind passionate way & do no harm. So they can be happy again & have a normal , productive life as best as the patient can. Without feeling scared to talk with the doctor about their pain. Let’s bring back a good doctor patient relationship. We just want to have a life. That would be a wonderful plan. We deserve to not be treated like addicts. We did not ask for this pain, then have to go through procedure after procedure & try so many medications that end up not working for us. Every one of us is different & being on pain medication helps along with other medications, maybe some even benefit from things like PT , water exercise , chiropractors etc… We the pain patients are dying from suicides & being cut off like alot have is dangerous. Does our lives matter? Don’t get me wrong , I firmly believe addiction is a disease & needs to be handled medically.I just want our voices herd & someone like you to listen and understand us. We need HELP! BEFORE ITS TOO LATE! Sincerely , A Chronic pain patient since 2007..
