Patients, consumers of healthcare are dropping dead by the tens of thousands. Never before have we witnessed such an egregious act toward those who sought professional help for personal needs. Of the 63,000 overdoses in 2016, approximately 52,000 of those who died overdosed on opiates. Of these, more than 50% started on opiates when their physician wrote them a prescription for pain killers. As prescriptions for opiates rose five fold, so did the overdose deaths. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies are making billions on the sale of opiates and on the antidote, Naloxone. This book helps the reader follow the money as it creates and reinforces a legal environment that allows it to continue. Companies are not being held accountable for the damages they have caused to individuals, families, communities and even states. Walk step by step through a plan that looks at each of the component parts of the situation and then suggests changes that can help curb the opiate crisis.
