Isn't this a perfect situation to use class action?

  I'm not sure how you'd identify participants. Medical privacy rules would prevent you from taking the typical "this consumer product causes warts so we'll find everyone on record of having bought one" approach.

    Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with mesothelioma? Received a vaginal mesh implant? Taken the drug Risperdal? They've been able to do it before.

      I guess as someone who doesn't own a TV I've not been exposed to much of that, but I do wonder whether the success rate of such an initiative would be lower among opioid addicts. "Please step forward, admit to the world you're addicted, and in 10-15 years you might get a coupon for free drugs." Also, what are we really looking for? Do addicts really know whether they were overprescribed? Is being addicted sufficient cause for a lawsuit? Anyway, I'm not saying it's unsolvable, but I can imagine some tougher hurdles than the class action suits I've been privy to.
