Obamacare rates shocker.

What???

Are you trying to tell me that if we create an all new revenue stream for pharma companies, hospitals and physicians all of whom are already facing reimbursement cuts that utilization will increase?

Freakanomics!

If access to opiates becomes easier and more available, will addiction rates increase?


I'm not saying access will become easier, or that addiction rates will increase. I don't know and won't assume one way or the other (I'm too lazy to care right now). It's just a question thrown out there to gather opinions.

Nope, probably not. Future addicts would have increased access to opioid/drug addiction drugs like suboxen/methadone also. People on addiction drugs would increase drastically, but they're not drug addicts they're just taking their medicine for addiction.

I find the question ironic on a forum where people are talking all day long about prescription drugs they (use) abuse without doctor prescriptions or oversight.

If you want some prescription painkillers, tranquilizers or sleeping pills, check Craigslist.

The law, as we all know, isn't what causes, or prevents, drug use.

And the logical end to this train of thought is that people shouldn't be allowed to have insurance, because if they do they will go to the doctor, and then they will get prescriptions and then they will become addicted, so its better for them if we make sure they don't have access to healthcare.

Not a very compelling argument.

Wasn't an argument. Thought I made that clear, and that's the whole reason I wrote what I did after I asked the question. I really don't give a fuck one way or the other. Addicts will be addicts and they will find a way to get their drugs. My question was one that I was wondering...not that I already have an answer to. That if access were somehow easier, because drug seekers who go to the ER for drugs could now obtain them through a PCP, and that somehow made obtaining them easier for them, would we start to see more people doing this who were not given those drugs at the ER (they don't always give the drugs)?

It was just a random thought. I don't have an answer and it probably isn't even a well thought out or phrased question. But I could possible see an argument being made by someone who actually did give a fuck (not me).
