63,000 people in USA died from drug overdoze in 2016.

Be that as it may.
Without and I go on public assistance. So that's the flip side.

 

The Paramount Value of Human Life is not just my idea. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam stand for it. Humanitarians since at least George Washington believed in it.

 

You're generalizing.......

Acts 28:27 - 'For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’

They have to want to.

 

Obama helped Iranian terrorists fund terrorism through drug dealing in US inner cities.

THAT WAS FAST: Trump State Department Comes Out In Support of Iran Protests.

Sharp contrast to the Obama response in 2009.

 

The prescription is the problem.

 

Sad part, you get prescribed cholesterol medication that has depression side effects, prescribed anti-depressants that produce suicidal tendencies and a drug to stop those. These drugs make you impotent and you get a drug for that. God forbid of you ever have nerve issues and get sent to a pain management office. They will test your blood to make sure you are taking the pain relievers you've been prescribed or else you're shut off. This is supposed to stop the black market, but it creates dependency. Instead of being able to take a small dose when needed for pain, you must take all the time. We are simply free range cattle on pharma's farm.

 

The doctors are carrying this stuff in. They don't care.

 

Many medications cause depression.

 

No, it's serious.

We know that the Obama administration allowed Hezbollah to continue selling drugs and even slaves to secure the Iran deal.

If he'd sell arms to Mexican drug cartels, he'd let Hezbollah sell drugs in the US.

 

most deaths from drugs are not from street drugs from mexico.

 

WRONG

Over the course of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the number of civilian deaths has been staggering. In Afghanistan, more than 26,000 civilians are estimated to have died since the war began in 2001. In Iraq, conservative tallies place the number of civilians killed at roughly 160,500 since the U.S. invasion in 2003. Others have put the total closer to 500,000.

But as U.S. involvement in each nation has dropped off in recent years, killings much closer to home, in Mexico, have steadily, if quietly, outpaced the number of civilian deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

Last week, the Mexican government released new data showing that between 2007 and 2014 — a period that accounts for some of the bloodiest years of the nation’s war against the drug cartels — more than 164,000 people were victims of homicide. Nearly 20,000 died last year alone, a substantial number, but still a decrease from the 27,000 killed at the peak of fighting in 2011.

Over the same seven-year period, slightly more than 103,000 died in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to data from the United Nations and the website Iraq Body Count.

Are the overdose deaths claimed as job creation by Trump for those who had jobs?

 

IS that the best you have?

 

Is The Donald the best you have?

 

If he could, he would find a way to tout it .

 

He is your President..............................you voted for him by voting for Hillary in the primary as Hillary was his campaign manager

 

Is your name Arthur or Martha, or don't you know what it is?

 

Lol, this thread is about overdoses.

Additionally, the government created the dangerous black market.

 

I am the guy who elected the President, you are the person who wasted their vote on a loser

 

Overdoses are caused by the drug trade kid.........................or do drugs just fall from the sky by you

 

Car crash, bad injuries. The liability insurance company will eventually pay after you make the lawyer call to "one call, that's all, one click, that's it," but if you want decent treatment at the time and blood of the moment of the injury, you'd best have good medical coverage.

Nobody cares if you're young and lack coverage.

 

Because taking medical advise from anonymous people on the Internet is just common sense. /sarcasm

 

If you have been paying attention, intelligently, for the last 30 years why would you trust what your doctor prescribes?

Iatrogenic disease is as common as the common cold. People got to look out for their own selves, and not be mesmerized by the Big Pharma commercials on the evening news.

 

Or you find a "Candy Doctor" like these two idiots:

A doctor who wrote prescriptions for nearly 3 million pills of narcotic painkillers in less than two years pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal drug charges.

Raymond Kraynak, 60, ran two doctors' offices in Northumberland County under the name Keystone Family Medicine Associates. A grand jury indicted him Wednesday on charges related to illegal distribution of controlled substances, saying Kraynak prescribed painkillers like oxycodone and fentanyl outside the scope of his medical authority for more than a decade.

Kraynak's actions, prosecutors further allege, caused the deaths of five patients between 2013 and 2015. The indictment does not identify those patients.

A West Virginia judge this week sentenced a local doctor to 20 years in prison for improper distribution of prescription opiates, including issuing 22,000 oxycodone pills to 273 patients in a single day.

Dr. Michael Kostenko, who ran pain management classes from his home clinic in southern West Virginia, accepted a guilty plea to one of the 22 felony counts he faced.

“You are, in my opinion, the worst kind of drug dealer,” Judge Irene C. Berger told Kostenko. “You poured thousands of prescription opiates into the streets, to people you knew weren’t taking them as prescribed.”

Kostenko faced one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises; 19 counts of distributing oxycodone not for legitimate medical purposes; and two counts of distribution not for medical purposes resulting in the death of two patients. He pleaded guilty to one count of distribution not for legitimate medical purposes.

The judge said the doctor’s exams, pill counts and urine screens were inadequate. She also cited a single day in December 2013 when Kostenko wrote 375 prescriptions without actually seeing the 271 patients. The prescriptions totaled more than 22,000 oxycodone pills and more than $20,000 was collected in cash that day.

After his 20 years in prison, the 61-year-old must serve five years supervised release, and he must pay a $50,000 fine. Berger said had he been financially capable, she would have imposed a greater fine.

“I recognize this is a lengthy sentence... but it is arguably less than your conduct has earned,” the judge said.

West Virginia is the epicenter for America’s drug overdose crisis, which experts say is reaching epidemic levels.

According to the most recent data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, West Virginia’s 2015 drug overdose death rate stood at 41.5 cases per 100,000 residents, the highest rate in the country and nearly three times the national average.

More than 800 people died due to overdose in 2016. According to a February 2017 analysis done by the West Virginia Health Statistics Center, 703 of 818 overdose deaths involved at least one opioid.

 

Everyone wants a pill to kiss their boo boos away, phyical and mental.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Talk to the idiots in government who now ding physicians who get low patient satisfaction scores for not allowing patients to dictate what drugs they need
