[Dee1956]

Hi all, I came here yesterday to see if you all were discussing this  What do you all think about this? there are many stories re the White House, Congress, our Military.  I have met many Veterans who say that they have been cut off, in agony, they are committing suicide, then I read this? I am confused. Thank you, Dee  https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/25/trump-va-pick-ronny-jackson-allegedly-gave-opioids-to-staffer-wrecked-car-while-drunk.html

I believe there are two separate issues here:

Regardless of the allegations against Dr. Jackson, he was a weak nominee who was nominated for a position he didn't  have the skill sets for, probably to help facilitate the privatization of a huge part of our Federal Budget in order to let the corporations that own many of our politicians skim tax dollars off into there pockets while providing inferior services.

The issue of making legitimate pain patients, their doctors, and their pharmacists jump through additional hoops to make it look like something is being done to keep people from sticking Fentanyl in themselves is a whole 'other issue.
