CVS hit with lawsuit, accused of unlawfully filling opioid prescriptions

[ Why was my chosen word " stupid " crossed out ? Does that phrase " violate community guidelines " ?] In general, we would live in a saner society if all aspects of the jackass WAR ON DRUGS were to go on retreat . To be sure , the prescription drugs daily advertised on our venerable TV news stations should not be promoted in these too often meretricious and very stupid commercials ( they reek of charlatanry ! ). On the other hand PAIN medicine is becoming too puritanically regulated. Are competent medial doctors now hesitant to prescribe the most standard pain medicine even to 92 year old ladies with excruciating arthritis ? Let her take good old Tylenol! But read today's alarming headlines about " safe " Tylenol ? Extreme pain untreated with EFFECTIVE pain medicine could easily lead to despair and suicide . Why not just let medical doctors just THINK FOR THEMSELVES rather than intimidate them with fear of losing their state license ? I am hearing complaints of the sick and wretched elderly all over . In general, the American health care system stinks . And ballyhooed OBAMACARE in no way established health care in " OUR democracy " as a basic human right .
