None that i have encountered, but the news tells a different story. how else could we have developed such an extreme opiod crisis in this country if it weren't for doctors over- prescribing.

Gramma Jean

They "over prescribe" all Big Pharma too much. Healing should be the goal of a doctor.

My family went and is still going thru the over-prescribing of pain meds.

Blaming Doctors and patients for the "opioid crisis" is ridiculous. I did think it was over prescribing when my daughter was 17 and was prescribed pain meds for strep. But some people need pain meds.

Beverly Miller

They don't for my family.

Patricia Brady-McKinney

No. It is so hard now to get what is needed for chronic pain. You have to take pee tests, they treat you like a criminal at the pharmacy half the time. My Dr. knows what I need, don't scrutinize her.

Leslie Ann

In some cases, due to patients pain level, the doctors are afraid to prescribe stronger meds, which for the patient, is wrong. The doctors should know what their patient needs, & prescribe accordingl

Koanani

Doctors are making medical decisions based on fear of regulatory attention instead of patient need. Patients rarely become addicted to prescribed pain meds. Now they are unable to receive care

Raymond Meskill

Some people. Need help help Now.

Heather Morris

I think it's ridiculous that doctors are scared to give people pain medication now because of all the penalties. Some people NEED pain medication!!

Bob Harlan

I live with chronic pain, the meds they do prescribe make me sick, but they will not prescribe me oxycodin because they are afraid of the government regulation. So I suffer.

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
