Thanks for sharing. Love the Pig pharma. They’ve also taken over the VA so watch what they give your veterans. Suicide rate? What drugs caused that in addition to the previous administration driving them to despair?

Article quotes:

But despite the fact that what’s known as “breakthrough cancer pain” is uncommon, Insys Therapeutics — the Arizona-based company that sells what can be a highly addictive drug, and nothing else — has sold almost a billion dollars worth of this medication in five years.

“... a former employee who said she was part of a scheme to get the drug Subsys to patients who never should have had it.”

“The ingredient that gives Subsys so much kick is fentanyl, according to the company’s website.”

“My job responsibilities were to contact insurance companies on behalf of the patients and the doctors to get the medication approved and paid for by their insurance company,” she told NBC.

“Subsys is not cheap. A 30-day supply costs anywhere from $3,000 to $30,000.”

“’Nixon told NBC that her supervisor told her ways to trick the insurers into believing it was “medically necessary.’”

“Within a month, Fuller’s prescription was tripled. And 14 months after she started using the drug, she was found dead on a bathroom floor.”
