Go after the pain management doctors too while they're at it.

Go after the revolving door "rehabs" that encourage you to keep coming back, too.

Yup! They get kickbacks from big pharma.

“Kickbacks” is a nice, efficient way to reference “necessitated by, initially funded by, promoted by, rewarded by and reliably compensated by via settlement-based demand for services.
A neat little money washing machine.

Pain management clinics, in Oregon, at least are strictly regulated. I highly doubt legit pain management clinics are playing fast and lose with opioids. You know why ( besides losing their practice)? They get big bucks denying you meds and sticking the insurance companies for the cost of medical procedures and medical devices. It's quite lucrative.

They get big bucks from big pharma to keep these people addicted to prescription drugs. Big pharma owns these doctors.

The government owns these doctors. Also, pain patients aren't addicted in the sense they get high and jones for the next fix and will rob, steal, or kill to get their supply (or whatever the lingo is these days.) Pain patients are dependent on their meds to scale the pain down a point or two in an attempt to function and have some sort of quality of life.
Anyway, there's a lot of misconceptions about opioid use for pain and the hilarious part is legit pain patients can hardly get them but hey, authority figures can come down on us, the low hanging fruit so easy to pick off

I’m sure every pain management doctor in the entire world is in their pocket, come on

My (old) nurse practitioner is in jail for 10 years for taking kick backs from drug companies.
She prescribed me 180 Vicodin and Percocet a month, as well as 60 adderall per month.
I’ve been clean for almost 10 years now, so she’s probably out, but they definitely went after some of them.
