Agreed.
My sister is an Oncologist/Hemotologist and deals with a lot of patients that are in desperate shape. We have had discussions about Pharma and she tells me it is an uphill battle. She said that patients come in after seeing commercials and demand that she prescribe something and if they don't get their way, they will go somewhere else until they get it. (mostly, we are talking cancer drugs and not pain killers here).
I also agree with building the southern wall as a lot of addicting drugs are coming thru Mexico and things like meth are being produced at the factory level vs. home factories.
