Further study? - isn't that what the FDA is requiring after the ADT opioids are approved. How are more studies going to be run if ADTs aren't covered?
I know lets veto ADT opioids because they are "too expensive" but instead lets let the FDA approve Opana and Zohydro and we can pay for ER doctors to deal with the carnage related to opioid addiction.
CC is a maniac and his politics are confusing. He's about ugly politics. He's anti pot, AND anti ADT - I suppose everyone should just eat themselves obese then go get a rubber band inserted into their stomach as a cure.
On Jan. 11, the New Jersey Legislature passed Bill A4271, which would have required health insurers to provide coverage for ADOs. Shortly thereafter, on Jan. 19, A4271 was pocket-vetoed because the estimated cost to the state (over $11 million per year) outweighed what is currently known about ADO effectiveness. Since that time, on March 10, the U.S. Senate cleared the Comprehensive 4 Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 (S.524). The act is under consideration by the House at this time. If enacted, the act would authorize the U.S. Attorney General to award grants to states to support comprehensive opioid abuse response initiatives. If enacted, the act could provide more resources to New Jersey such that A4271, if reintroduced, may become more financially feasible.
