Analysis: Trump says his anti-opioids effort is making a big difference

AHH: Most Americans want Congress to work on lowering their family’s health-care expenses rather than make sweeping changes like adopting Medicare-for-all, or repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act,"At a time when Democratic presidential candidates are emphasizing universal health coverage — with those on the left advocating Medicare-for- all — not quite half of the respondents who identify as Democrats regard that as a priority for Congress," the Post's"Majorities...

A senior forensic chemist at the Drug Enforcement Administration's Special Testing and Research Laboratory in Sterling, Va., with a bag of crystal methamphetamine. The number of overdose deaths involving meth grew by more than 250 percent between 2011 and 2016, from fewer than 2,000 to nearly 7,000,University of Texas researcher Jane Maxwell told Katelyn that, unlike with opioids, there are no FDA-approved medications to treat meth addiction and none being developed anytime soon."We're into a new epidemic," Maxwell said. "All we've got are these social, cognitive talk therapies.

I'd agree with the headline, the big difference is millions of patients with terribly painful medical conditions are now suffering, losing their jobs, becoming disabled, and going on aid or killing themselves because they can't function without their medication. opioidhysteria

It sure is! We're seeing a lot of CPP's commit SuicideDueToPain bc they can't get their pain medication. Still have over 22 Veterans a day who commit SuicideDueToPain. Great job

Mexico is a narco-state. If it's not illegal fentanyl from super-labs, it's poppies. With child slave labor.

If WaPo was honest, you'd be covering the Mexican Drug War, the criminal insurgency causing Mexicans/Central Americans to flee to the U.S. Sinaloa, Los Zetas, Gulf Cartel, Jalisco NG, violence worse than ISIS. They are brining in the killer fentanyl. Read:

Only difference is patients with incurable painful diseases & injuries including cancer/hospice have pain medications withheld from them, they die from heart attacks or commit suicide to escape the pain. Millions have been cut off from meds & doctors, suffering in the darkness.

No it's not. Not where it counts, anyway. illicitfentanyl and heroin are all over the country, while legit pain patients are denied their medication. veterans, chronicpain and cancer patients are dying while the focus is on pills instead of illicit substances. Big fail.

The only difference that has been made is that it's harder for good ppl who have real dx and r in real pain, to get the relief from prescribed pain meds! The addicts will still get their fix and the good ppl will & are suffer(ing)! POTUS is wrong on this one!

HA! What exactly has he done and where is that difference supposed to be evident?

Are his minions slowly but surely getting off opioids?

D' Dump' is the best at everything, just ask' him!

It started in 2016 w/a CDC alert and new dosing recommendations. We had a President then - we don't have one now.

Just like his presidency is responsible for the great economy...

MAGA

Plot twist: it doesn’t

What your headline should say... Trump has done a hell of a lot more... than the last administration....

That’s not an analysis.

This is a really bad title. 'Analysis' followed by something that is in no way an analysis is just, really really bad and misleading. Just, please, stop sucking at your job.

🙄

I'll check out reliable sources. I'll not pay for public information.

Says, sniff, sniff, snort...

Narrator: it’s not

Laundering Kremlin narco-dollars Trump was more compliant)

Interesting, isn't it? All the success always belongs to the President in every case.

😂😂😂😂😂

All I know is that DerangedDonald is driving me to drink.🍷🍷🍷

How about headlining the truth instead of anything the gaslighter spews.

As far as I know, there's absolutely no evidence of change. The only new thing is one of the pharma companies getting sued.

This from a man that snorts speed?

Opioids are coming over the southern border? Pretty sure it's mostly weed and coke they are growing in South and Central America & the pills are mostly coming from Asia.

What has he done, anyone name 1 thing I challenge you

What is he talking about?

MAGA greatest president to ever walk earth America has never been more productive MAGA America

Tune in to the youtube video 'Seattle Dying'. It's disgusting what Seattle has done to not stop or help drug addicts. The people protesting their city counsel are sick of the tents, waste, street excrement, and all on drugs.

Really? He still looks pretty doped-up to me.

He'd be saying this weather or not it's making a difference.

Effective people usually shut-up and let the results speak for themselves. Ineffective people need to speak a lot to try to elevate their feeble efforts.

Analysis: Trump's a liar.

' I'm curing the opioid problem folks. I just took them all, five minutes ago ' DJT

He has dismantled everything that was working. He’s made a difference all right.

Biden is the only one that can beat Trump. Maybe Mayor Pete.

Not while 'OPIOID MARSHA' is in the Senate

Can he provide a detailed description of the steps being taken in said effort?

At this point, only stupid people believe anything this guy says.

So naturally it must not be.
