Might be something that benefits them for once

Because blacks are more likely to become addicted like George Floyd?

Really interesting way to phrase the comparison.
Were black patients not on Medicare treated at the same rate as white patients?

If an individual has ever had,or has a problem with opioid addiction, they obviously will NOT prescribe one.
Does this give us a clue?

Black people generally don't like prescription opiates. This is no surprise to anyone who works in health care.

So, they want to be prescribed opioids more? Is that the end game?
Is it possible that black medicare patients attempt to abuse hospitals for opioids more than white medicare patients?

No wonder my plug dried up and prices went through the roof.

Didn’t read the article but in my neck of the woods whites use the ER for pill shopping more than blacks. I would think that would be one possible reason.

They should be thankful.
Not really, but good riddance with opioids

Were the white patients in this group also on Medicare?
How about the folks on Medicaid?
How about folks with private insurance?
This smells like a cherry-picked “study”.

They're not giving them the vaccines, either, apparently.
