Come on only 36. Not worth reporting.

It's a money hungry person in every big Company..

Can't trust the DOJ since Trump & his crooked cronies have taken over the nation's law enforcement!!!

Injustice is plaguing our legal system all across the America with illegal incarcerations and malicious prosecution people going into criminal justice to get back at people doing hate crimes and ruining lives stealing family members and dividing families

There's a new Miracle painkiller that takes the place of all the other painkillers they're hiding this pain killer from the American people and they want to collect money like the Cancer Society and Rob you of all your money for an opioid painkiller problem

It was more than 3 dozen. Almost 60 providers dispensing 32 million pills. The biggest opioid takedown in U.S. history and nobody cares. People were having teeth pulled to obtain prescriptions. Disturbing, but it’s nothing more than a DOJ press release.

I'm thrilled by this. I know someone who died from an overdose. Her ability to get the drug after a legitimate surgery was outright irresponsible on the part of the prescribing doctor and pharmacist!

There ought to be a law. Or maybe a regulation. Or maybe enforcement. What happened, the local paper busted the pill Mill and politicians finally stepped up?

But they can still vote

Remember, you're not the first nor the last. The shame game is childish, what matters is learning from our actions and most importantly asking the question 'was it worth it'? You tell me. Love ya!

Color coded for your convenience

Maybe if people could get the actual medical treatment they need they wouldn't get addicted to painkillers and opioids in the diet place.

It’s about damn time

It's a start.
