Timeline of Law Enactment
Over the past two decades, the number of states having one or more laws aimed at reducing prescription drug misuse, abuse, and overdose has increased. Lawmaking in this area has steadily accelerated along with growing awareness of prescription drug abuse.
1970s: A few states enacted laws requiring physical examinations of patients before prescribing and imposing prescription limits.
1980s: More states enacted physical examination and prescription limit laws, while a few states began to require identification when picking up prescriptions for controlled substances, and others enacted laws to prohibit doctor shopping.
1990s: Laws were passed in multiple categories, especially physical exam laws, which were enacted by an additional eight states.
2000s: Half of US states adopted tamper-resistant prescription form laws, which was prompted by the passage of federal tamper-resistant form legislation in 2007. During this same decade, a small number of states introduced pain clinic laws and laws that provided immunity or mitigation at sentencing for individuals obtaining medical assistance during an overdose.
AND with Government and Federal pressure placing an emphasis on curtailing the prescription abuse epidemic...it is only a matter of time before a few select Pharma companies will benefit from this pressure and mandates happening daily.
1) The White House has an agenda to curb the epidemic that is prescription drug abuse....

Prescription drug abuse is the Nation’s fastest-growing drug problem. While there has been a marked decrease in the use of some illegal drugs like cocaine, data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) show that nearly one-third of people aged 12 and over who used drugs for the first time in 2009 began by using a prescription drug non-medically.
2) The House of Representatives recently passed a bill that gives additional funding to the FDA to offset drug shortages....

The main purpose of the bill is to reauthorize fees from makers of drugs and devices that help speed FDA evaluation of new medical products. These so-called "user fees" could make up nearly half of the FDA's proposed $4.5 billion budget next year, according to a plan from President Barack Obama.
~~As we know Naltrexone is one of those drugs on various drug shortage lists!

3) The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Obama's Health Care Plan....meaning that everyone will be required to have health care. This, though controversial, will unsure that less money will be spent on the poor and indigent population that uses a disproportionate amount of prescription related opioid abuse funds.
