Perhaps a better questions is why is Ralph Abrams paving the way to allow the Chinese to force Americans to use fentanyl????

Lamar White is back to smearing Republicans I see. I suspect this will get no coverage since his last attempt to smear Sen Cassidy turned out to be garbage.
There is exactly NO context. Is this out of whack for a pharmacy of it's size? I don't know and neither does Lamar White.
Pathetic.
AND if there really are doctors over prescribing pain bills that is regulated by the Department of Health run by ... JBE.

He definitely has a much inflated view of his liberal arts degree. A couple of his pieces occasionally have merit but his obvious political slant ruins a lot of what he attempts to write.

This hatchet job shows that the Dems and JBE are worried about RA. Fake news from a weirdo from Alexandria living with his two dogs in New Orleans. Never heard of his “paper’.

What a fricking pathetic article
Posted on 8/29/19 at 10:53 am to WeeWee
hummm my math says there are 6000 people in the community and 1.4 million divided by 6000 means 233 pills per person.
Odds are most of the pills were paid for with medicaid?

Not at all. It's about average.

Abraham has been openly enthusiastic about his support for opioid treatments, once suggesting that the drugs are far less dangerous and much more effective than medical marijuana. Five years ago, during an October 2014 debate for Congress, Abraham claimed he did not support “the legalization of marijuana on any level.”
“Again, as a physician, let me tell you. What I see in my practice, from any level of marijuana use, is bad,” Abraham stated. “I’m against recreational, I’m against medical. In the medical profession, for these chronic pain, poor cancer patients that need help, we have other alternatives that work better, Dilaudid, OxyContin, you name it, Oxycodone, we have several options that do a much better job for chronic pain.
If he really thinks pills are better than medical dope, that's a problem.
Is he prescribing these as a doctor? If so, it makes me wonder how much money he's getting off of this stuff.
I'm not worried about those numbers - I'm worried about the fact he seems to think opioids are ok, dope isn't, and if there is a conflict of interest.

Unbelievable.
We have to stop medicare and medicaid from buying opioids if that many pills are going into such small communities.
I have never taken an opioid in my entire life---not even after a surgery I had.

You do understand that he does NOT write the scripts, right?
There was a pill mill pharmacy in Chalmette that got raided a few months ago. Apparently people working at the pharmacy had stolen prescription pads that they were using to write opiod prescriptions, then filling them, then selling the pills for cash.
Not in any way saying this happened here, but it's entirely possible for a pharmacist to distribute pills without a doctor involved.

You could give every person a pill a day and they would run out before 6 years.... that isn’t some massive number like you think it is.

Those pharmacies serve both Franklin and Richland parish which have a combined population of > 40,000. That comes out to 0.32% of the population of the combined parishes, 0.64% of the population of either Franklin or Richland parish alone, or 2.13% of the 6000 population that the authors came up with. 0.32%, 0.64%, or 2.13% of the population per day taking pain pills is below the national average.

In Mangham (2017 population: 638), Abraham’s pharmacy supplied enough opioid medication to provide every man, woman, and child 6.1 doses every year (or 43 pills in total) for seven consecutive years; his pharmacy in Winnsboro (2017 population: 4,652) could have provided every resident 4.4 doses per year (or 31 in total). (Note: Annual doses per person were based on Census estimates, not the most recent American Community Survey).
That's fricking nothing, considering cancer and chronic pain patients typically take between 2000 and 4000 doses over that same period. frick this little New Orleans homo and his manufactured bullshite.

The numbers are bullshite. Those pharmacies service an area with a population of 40,000 people not 6000 people.

One pharmacy is in Winnsboro and it also hosts the only hospital in Franklin Parish The FP Med Center. It also serves neighboring rural parishes.
Looks to me they built that pharmacy in a good llocation.

That is below average. 240,000,000 prescriptions for pain medications were written in 2013 and lets just say those prescriptions averaged ten pills which is two days worth of Norco. That is 2.4 billion pills in 2013 and the population of the USA was estimated to 316,000,000 in 2013. That means that on average 3.25% of the population of the USA is taking pain pills on any given day.
