I would like to be included in this lawsuit. After more than 15 years of continuous prescription pain medication use for daily intolerable pain I am currently going through forced unsupervised withdrawal. With no warning
my insurance company CVS Caremark
is denying me access to my meds pending a “prior authorization”. Its now been several days and not only am I dealing with my pain, but physical symptoms of wthdrawl. This kind of treatment is not only not what we pay our insurance fees for, buts its inhumane.
If this pt ends up committing SUICIDE… you can’t convict/jail the CVS Corporation… they might get fined… I wonder if their MEDICAL DIRECTOR or those on the committee who came up with these policies and procedures could be charged with ASSISTING SUICIDE ?
Remember Dr. Kevorkian ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kevorkian
“In 1999, Kevorkian was arrested and tried for his direct role in a case of voluntary euthanasia. He was convicted of second-degree murder and served eight years of a 10-to-25-year prison sentence. He was released on parole on June 1, 2007, on condition he would not offer advice nor participate nor be present in the act of any type of suicide involving euthanasia to any other person; as well as neither promote nor talk about the procedure of assisted suicide”
Chronic pain pts have TWICE THE SUICIDE RATE of the general population… will such policies and procedures of companies like CVS/CAREMARK just enough of a NUDGE to cause how many chronic pain pts to take steps to CEASE THEIR SUFFERING FOR GOOD ?
There is already 5 states that have passed laws legalizing “death with dignity law ” and another 30 states have it on their legislative agenda this year.. Are we headed down the path of “covert genocide” ?
We already have abt 50,000 mental health pt commit suicide each year with another one million attempts… is anyone going to pay attention to the increased suicides… or has the system already been put in place that those chronic pain pts taking opiates… when a opiate shows up in their toxicology.. their death will be classified as just a “opiate related death” and not be counted as a SUICIDE ?
