Dave Chase Discusses His New Work, "The Opioid Crisis Wake-Up Call: Health Care is Stealing the American Dream” (November 16th)

Listen now (34 mins) | Listen Now Listeners may recall, I have previously discussed the opioid epidemic this past February 2 with Dr. Steve Passik concerning abuse deterrent formulations and on November 16, 2016 with Dr. Ann Lembke regarding her work, "Drug Deal MD." Tragically, the opioid epidemic continues unabated. In 2017 there were 72,000 drug overdose deaths, among these 29,000 were from synthetic opioids, predominately fentanyl. While Mr Chase's work examines the cause of the opioid epidemic and what could be done to reduce fatalities, it is moreover a study that attempts to explain what accounts for massive dysfunction in health care delivery that causes, as I note in the podcast's introduction, Americans to spend $1 trillion annually on health care coverage and services that do not improve their health.
