On the opioid abuse front some
encouraging news that Purdue Pharma may detest
But the overdose increases linked to
OxyContin may be subject to arrest
Cigna and Blue Cross of Florida
announced that OxyContin prescriptions they would no longer cover
Other newer drugs less addictive or
harder to abuse have been discovered
Now Purdue Pharma has been informed
that the largest insurer in Tennessee will no longer reimburse for OxyContin
use
Too easy for the user to recover the
opiods and snort or inject in an addictive abuse
Purdue Pharma is the poster child
Of deceptive marketing on minimizing
the addictive risks run wild
A $600 million settlement paid by
the company in 2007
For too many opioid addicts going to
an early hell or heaven
As the opioid epidemic continues to
grow the class action lawsuits again Purdue Pharma pile up
Against marketing efforts the book Dopesick described as greedy and corrupt
Take away insurance for OxyContin
and limit the number and types of painkiller drugs for which insurers will pay
And reducing this crisis of overdoses
we will have gone and long way.
