Two House members (Foster& Kelly) have added an amendment to HR 2470 #20 amendment – which would assign a “unique number” to every person getting chronic pain meds
Two Senate members ( Manchin & Braun) has a bill S. 2089: FDA Opioid Labeling Accuracy Act that would prohibit the FDA from labeling any opiate for long term pain use – with a few exceptions – until studies have been done to “prove” that they work for treating long term pain. I guess the couple of millenium that they have been used to treat pain in insufficient ?
They claim that global warning is caused by an excessive amount of CO2 and our increasing national debt is caused by the cost of supporting our Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid programs. A part of the solution to this problem can be brought by using the carbon footprint calculator which helps in calculating the consistency of damage to the environment over millions of years.
The proposed House bill – as I remember – has been tried before by a dictator of a country that in the late 1930’s – early 1940’s – assigned a “unique number” to a subset of the country’s population. In fact they wanted the unique number to be “permanent” so they tattooed them to the inside of their forearms… As I remember, that numbering system did not work out so well and a lot of people died
The Senate bill would deny most chronic pain pts long term pain management, and we all know that chronic pain pts that get denied adequate pain management… some end up committing suicide and others will end of dying of “natural causes” because under/untreated pain will cause their other co-morbidity issues to become life threatening. Maybe even a premature… see chart below
How would all of this help solve global warning and our national debt problem ? If these proposed bills make it to law and cause more chronic painers to commit suicide or die prematurely… there would be less CO2 being generated … since every time that one of us exhales.. we exhale CO2.
Most of the chronic painers consume a lot of healthcare dollars in treating their numerous medical issues and many are on Medicare disability or Medicaid or maybe both..
Many talk about a “covert genocide” and perhaps there is a “end game” to help address global warming and our growing national debt.
Congress doesn’t seem to be capable of directly dealing with these two issues… so … maybe there is a hidden agenda here… because if they tried to create a direct solution… probably HALF of the country would not be happy… and maybe many in Congress would not get re-elected ?

Why did every paycheck I ever earned take money out for both Social Security & Medicare? why does every politician seem to conveniently forget that? Money for those uses was collectively earned by every working citizen in the US. They are NOT entitlements. We earned them.
The unique identifier has already been assigned, it´s our Social Security number. Any other number is going to cost astronomical dollars & be redundent
We can complain and complain, but until WE THE PEOPLE STAND UP as PROTEST instead of sitting on our asses and just bending over, maybe we can ACHIEVE SOMETHING. THERES STILL POWER IN WE THE PEOPLE! There’s still power in the pen, EDUCATE YOURSELF WITH THE CONSTITUTION , YES MONEY RULES, BUT WE CAN ALSO FIGHT! Never give up!! Semper Fi
A “unique” number! Singled out as a burden on society, the healthy, the rich. Do these two idiot Senate members really believe that this will solve anything? It really does sounds like and I will say it, HITLERS method of “marking” what HE considered the undesirables! DAMN! This is REALLY getting out of hand! EVERY single human being alive has the RIGHT, at least in this country to pursue life, liberty and happiness. EVERY human being! What makes anyone else “special” and entitled to better health care, more money, and to have better pain management if and WHEN they need it? Because they were elected to SERVE the people of the United States?
Great commentary Steve! Silent genocide marches on…get rid of all the weak, sick..”useless eaters” Utopian new world.dream….never works out, and it’s the same rhetoric recycled again and again. History sadly repeats itself again. We should have learned…..this will affect all of your lives, and family at some point, so speak out against this now, and loudly!
It seems that a preemptive measure is warranted. I just don’t know if there are any legal ones?
The increasing National debt is caused by Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. That is really very funny coming from our government since they are the ones that have increased the National debt with their little projects including Bush’s scheme to pay the Banks & Trumps never ending spending. They increase the debt, blame it on us. They
Have been raiding the Social Security Funds for years without ever paying it back and they have the nerve to tell us that Social Security is
Going broke.
Senator Manchin and Senator Braun must be inhaling the opioid
CO2 because everything in their bill is pure BS. THEY ARE TREATING CPP AS ADDICTS AND REAL ADDICTS AS VICTIMS.
As usual, our government jumps ahead without knowing any facts or
What is actually going on. Especially if it can advance their dam
Careers giving them a chance for more money and a higher position.
Are sick rich people NOT a burden? What will they charge each other for things in the new world? Who will make these things? Can an airplane hangar full of gold in any way delay the day of death? Greed creates global and national burdens and this lot, as a group, seems to be the biggest offenders I consistently see.
