How many more years are we going to just “tread water” in fighting the war on drugs

Why do “we” allow some groups to determine that a certain category of pts with valid medical issues be viewed as a group who is not worthy of receiving treatment. we opened out independent pharmacy in 1976 and in the early 80’s as the DRG pricing for hospitals came into play we saw a growing need for home medical equipment… as this DRG hospital pricing system was causing pts to be discharged sicker and quicker. Providing home oxygen and related respiratory equipment and medication because a solid part of our overall business. Many/most of the pts requiring home oxygen supplementation was former smokers, some continued to smoke while using their oxygen. Insurance companies paid for these therapies because there was two different objective test that determined how poorly a pt’s lungs were able to convert ambient air into a adequate percent of their blood.

However, our health insurance system and to some degree our medical healthcare system seems to be reluctant and/or discourage to treat those pts dealing with subjective diseases. ( Pain, Anxiety, Depression, ADD/ADHD, various mental health issues ).  I remember earlier in my career that health insurance companies had very poor/little coverage for treating mental health issues.

To put things in perspective, in the last 12 months we have had more young Americans died/poisoned by illegal fentanyl via China & Mexico than all the young lives lost in America’s 24 yrs of involvement in the Vietnam war.   Of course, we did declare the War on drugs abt 50 yrs ago.  I guess when you look at history the last war that we actually won or brought it to a end – was WW-II and that two TWO A-BOMBS
