I call this a betrayal of America by US politicians. The overdose rate has apparently doubled over the past 10 years and congress did not even start talking about opioids until, what, 2017? No one jailed until 2019? 3 years beyond the charts in this report. 47,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses in the last 12 months. Is it coincidence that by far the biggest spender on congressional lobbying is Pharma/Healthcare? $284,000,000 in 2018 alone. That is $531,000 per congressperson in one year, and only for Pharma/Healthcare. Or, another way to look at it, $5,985.25 per opioid death.
