I found this from Change.org
Unequivocal support for medication-assisted treatment from HHS Secretary Price (from Change.org)
A community of over 600 practitioners and researchers have signed a letter to ask Secretary Price to unequivocally support medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
Dr. Price made concerning statements about medication-assisted treatments for opioid use disorder during a visit to West Virginia. Dr. Price stated that these treatments are “just substituting one opioid for another.” These views reflect a critical misunderstanding of the value of these treatments and damage a public health response to the opioid epidemic.
Signatories include some of the most widely recognized experts in the field of addiction medicine, including deans of schools of public health, editors of major journals, authors of landmark studies, and leaders from the world of practice and advocacy.
We stand together to express our commitment to science-based approaches to treatment of opioid use disorder and to secure a commitment from the Trump Administration to advance the policies that we know will help to stem the tide of this devastating epidemic.
We ask Dr. Price and the Trump Administration to unequivocally support medication-assisted treatment, and to embrace public health strategies that we know can reduce opioid overdose deaths.
I bet they all do want some government money to test and treat the drug addicts. None of that fattens their pockets does it. Are the 600 practitioners willing to do this out of the kindness of their hearts? (Hell NO they’re NOT)
Let’s get a bunch of liberals together who want to feed off the government’s money and get rich off it. Sure they are going to be all for it. Why can’t they fund their own studies and come to a solution?
Liberal shitheads!
