Wow Chanel5, BIEL has a solution to a $33 billion problem
"Addressing the opioid crisis requires a comprehensive approach, and expanding access to nonopioid pain management options is a crucial piece to the puzzle," said Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. "$33 billion in Medicare spending for opioid use disorder should be a wake-up call: addiction doesn’t discriminate based on age. We need to make non-opioid pain relievers more affordable and accessible for our seniors, allowing them to choose safer treatments and help to reduce the risk of addiction before it starts."
“The opioid epidemic is one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time,” said Senator Tillis. “This report simply underscores what we already know – the human and economic toll of the opioid crisis is significant, unsustainable, and unacceptable. We must pursue a comprehensive strategy to reverse the current trend, which is why I was proud to introduce the bipartisan Alternatives to PAIN Act that seeks to prevent opioid addiction before it starts by increasing access to non-opioid pain management therapies for seniors.”
