“With approximately 142 Americans dying every day,” the report notes, “America is enduring a death toll equal to September 11th every three weeks.”

In 2015, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures, heroin deaths alone surpassed gun homicides for the first time. More than 33,000 people died of opioid overdose, with another 20,000 dying from other drugs. A recent federal study found that prescription painkillers are now more widely used than tobacco.

I recall Bill Maher discussing the pharmaceutical problem one time.  In essence he wondered, "why are we so sick?"  Do you suppose it is all a plot by big pharma to peddle their poison?
