Almost One-Third of Hospices Report Cases of Stolen Patient Painkillers
A new study finds almost one-third of hospices have reported at least one case in which painkillers were taken from a patient in the past three months. The drugs were most often taken by family members, HealthDay reports.

I agree with Senator McCaskill because I have seen and heard way too much on it is everybody else’s fault with things going on in our country. There is a lack of taking responsibility for one’s own actions in this country that I find deplorable. from top leadership on down.

I agree with Senator McCaskill too. This idea is rediculous! I was a heroin + opiate addict for 22 years + have been clean 27. I never saw my use of drugs or prescription drugs go up or down due to whether I had Medicaid, insurance or bought it myself. Other factors were very much at play but getting on or off Medicaid did not affect my using or cause me to relapse.

That statement is single-handedly the most egregious and illogical contribution toward this debilitating epidemic. It’s beyond reaching. Shifting blame & responsibility to a lesser socioeconomic demographic. Further, in such an indirect and suppressive manner.

I agree with Senator McCaskill. Total Hogwash. That is as bad as the Governor of KY (Bevin) saying that giving people Medicaid benefits doesn’t improve health outcomes. Where do they get this nonsense.
