Increase universally attributed to opioid abuse and suicide.

ACA, as originally passed, had extensive funding provisions for mental health and substance abuse.

The problem is malaise, not insurance.

Directly correlates to the amount of illegal fentanyl being smuggled through our southern border. Another reason for the need of much better border security.

I said opioid. 

From wherever.  China or a crooked Dr. or pharmacy or the winger mega donor Sackler family. 

ADespair and death don’t discriminate.

Maybe   shutting  off  the  '''  express  lane  ''''  at  the  crossing  would  be  a  good  1st  start   -  maybe  hun  -  ?

Gangs bringing "the good stuff" across the border addicting users after the first try. Creates a lot of demand.

What exactly are you accusing me of? Spell it out big guy!!

How come the shortening of life seems to be confined to white males living in red states?

Too much beer and barbecue!

There are a number of reasons that there are
More deaths due to drugs.
The newer, bad stuff is usually made in
The United States, not imported.
The question is why such a problem ?
If you knew the truth, other than the coffee
Shop, or rush....the first is the depression and
Helplessness that young have, due to their
Bleak view of the future.
The second, the newer stuff has a different
"Profile", ie, is stronger, produces a "better high"
So it makes you want more, and the threshold
Of addiction is lower.

A more interesting question to this brain trust.

Should nocan be over the counter or free or
Should it only be available via rx and Dr orders,
And ""just let the dope heads die"".

Might be a rather eye opening poll.

My son is young, 21, and has a great outlook on life. He is working in HVAC and makes a great living. He doesn't have tuition debt from a liberal arts communist indoctrination center, either. Life is good!
