In the late 1990s and early 2000s, congressional committees held hearings and determined poor people did not have access to opioid pain killers as did insured people of means. Congress decided poor people and unemployed had the right to the same pain medications as did people of means and told federal medical programs and insurance companies to make sure the country had equity in pain relief. Big pharmaceutical companies had no influence on Congress' decisions, and the multi-billion increase in income was only coincidental. There is plenty of blame to go around -- Congress, addiction-producing companies, doctors who write prescriptions like printing press dollars, drug stores that gladly fill the federal-backed prescriptions, and users who become addicts. Nobody's going to jail.
