A new report, from the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee claims that Obamacare’s major Medicaid expansion is helping to fuel the disastrous opioid epidemic that’s currently raging through American’s heartland.
According to the report, available from the Committee’s website, Medicaid users can get opioid prescriptions for as many as 240 pills — prescriptions they may pay no more than a dollar for (if they pay for the prescription at all). Many of those on Medicaid then turn around and sell extra medication on the black market, where they can make a significant profit for drugs like Oxycontin and its generic cousin, oxycodone.
