Prescription Drug Abuse - OxycontinDon\t Act So Surprised When Individuals Need Rehabilitation Services for Prescription Drug Abuse of OxycontinOn the verge of the September 11th anniversary, where the horrible tragedy of lives lost will be remembered, our country faces many other issues, such as multi-billion dollar corporate giants falling because of "bad accounting". Some of these no-longer-solvent companies even had Major League ball parks named after them, which would be even more embarrassing if it weren\'t for the press that the whiny players are getting for threatening to go on strike, vacate the stadiums and abandon the fans. There\'s also the total uncertainty of Wall Street and the unfathomable amount of many Americans\' retirement money that is being lost. Speaking of retirement, one of the main political issues, besides terrorism and national security, is the exponential rise in prescription drug costs that our nation\'s elderly cannot afford. It\'s at least important enough for the Governor of Florida to go head-to-head with the former Attorney General.
In the midst of all this uncertainty and turmoil, there is a group of manufacturers that is flourishing, pharmaceutical companies. The gigantic drug-making firms have received little scrutiny publicly and have gone virtually unscathed as there has been more than a 17% increase in prescription drug sales for the last four years in a row, according to the National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation. This past year yielded an astounding $22.5 billion increase in total sales and an additional 200 million retail prescriptions filled over the previous year. Do the very few drugs produced by these companies that are actually lifesaving in emergency situations provide a "Proceed directly to GO and receive $200" card? Is it the millions of dollars given to political parties for elections by these companies? I believe that the average person, especially an American, can put two and two together and see that we are getting used like disposable pawns in a high dollar game of chess. Is there an end in sight? If we don\'t wake up and look at what\'s happening, who will? The next time you see a commercial for the latest fad drug or pay an outrageous sum of money for your prescription painkillers, don\'t act so surprised.
