[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3249850, member: 10465"] Saying that Doctors or anyone is getting rich from taking "kickbacks" off opioids is silly. The stuff is [U]CHEAP[/U]. Here's a link to a site that will give you pharmacy prices; just type in your medication and it pulls up pricing in your area, and most of the info is if you pay [I]cash[/I]. I posted the link with morphine as the example. Morphine is like $20-25 for 60 30 mg tabs; how is anyone getting a kick back to prescribe that? Duh. Look at Percocet, Fentanyl, whatever...the stuff is cheap! Now on the street, well, that's a different story. But we are talking about prescriptions; [I]nobody[/I] is making serious money prescribing opioids. I am sorry some people feel doctors are taking kickbacks or get perks to prescribe opioid medications; I just do not think that's a real problem, not at all. There's just no money in opioids people, it's too cheap to buy at your local pharmacy. [URL]https://www.goodrx.com/morphine-er[/URL] Seriously, it costs much less to get a months supply of Morphine than it does to get Cable TV. (I blame the cost of cable TV on unscrupulous cable guys about as much as I do unscrupulous doctors for the opioid crisis) [/QUOTE]
