Yeah, absolutely. There's anecdotes almost for any situation proving a health care to be awful and great. My comment is mostly around the current opioid crisis in the United States of which there's an alarming amount of data to support. Australia also had, or more likely has quite the crisis too. This is not at all specific to the United States though, I use it as an example as it's demonstratively worse. In the last few years in Australia, opiates in it's over-the-counter (non-MD prescribed) forms have become controlled and are no longer available over the counter. https://www.addictioncenter.com/addiction/addiction-in-australia/ https://www.addictioncenter.com/addiction/addiction-in-austr... https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/australia-s-overdose-crisis-is-getting-worse https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/australia-s-overdo...
