Tha do thaic gar cuideachadh gus an sgeulachd innse

Bho chòraichean gintinn gu atharrachadh clìomaid gu Large Tech, tha The Impartial air an talamh nuair a tha an sgeulachd a’ leasachadh. Co-dhiù a tha e a’ sgrùdadh ionmhas an pro-Trump PAC aig Elon Musk no a’ toirt a-mach am prògram aithriseach as ùire againn, ‘The A Phrase’, a tha a’ deàrrsadh air na boireannaich Ameireaganach a tha a’ strì airson còraichean gintinn, tha fios againn cho cudromach sa tha e na fìrinnean a sgrùdadh. teachdaireachdan.

Aig àm cho èiginneach ann an eachdraidh nan SA, tha feum againn air luchd-aithris air an talamh. Leigidh an tabhartas agad leinn cumail oirnn a’ cur luchd-naidheachd a bhruidhinn ri gach taobh den sgeulachd.

Tha earbsa aig Ameireaganaich thar an speactram poilitigeach gu lèir anns an Impartial. Agus eu-coltach ri mòran ionadan naidheachd càileachd eile, tha sinn a’ roghnachadh gun a bhith a’ glasadh Ameireaganaich a-mach às ar n-aithris agus mion-sgrùdadh le ballachan pàighidh. Tha sinn den bheachd gum bu chòir naidheachdas càileachd a bhith ri fhaighinn leis a h-uile duine, le pàigheadh ​​​​air a shon leis an fheadhainn as urrainn a phàigheadh.

Bidh an taic agad a’ dèanamh diofar mòr.

Dh’ fhoillsich Roinn a’ Cheartais gearan catharra Diciadain a’ cumail a-mach gun do lìon CVS Pharmacy Inc. agus grunn fho-chompanaidhean òrdughan “mì-laghail” a’ dol an aghaidh Achd Stuthan Smachdaichte feadarail.

Tha an gearan cuideachd ag ràdh gun do dh’ iarr CVS airgead air ais bho phrògraman cùram slàinte feadarail airson òrdughan mar sin a’ dol an aghaidh Achd Tagraidhean meallta. Is e CVS an t-sreath bùth-chungaidhean as motha anns na SA, far a bheil còrr air 9,000 bùth-leigheadaireachd.

Thuirt riochdaire CVS gu bheil a’ chompanaidh air a bhith ag obair còmhla ri rannsachadh an DOJ airson còrr is ceithir bliadhna, agus gu bheil iad ag aontachadh gu làidir ris na casaidean agus na dh’ ainmich iad mar “aithris bhreugach” taobh a-staigh a’ ghearain.

Am measg nan òrdughan mì-laghail a lìonadh CVS a rèir aithris bho 17 Dàmhair, 2013, chun an latha an-diugh bha airson meudan cunnartach agus cus de opioids, lìonadh tràth de opioids, agus òrdughan “trinity” – measgachadh cunnartach de dhrogaichean air an dèanamh suas de opioid, a benzodiazepine agus fois fèithean, a rèir luchd-casaid.

A rèir aithris, lìon CVS meudan mòra de òrdughan-cungaidh airson stuthan fo smachd air an sgrìobhadh le luchd-òrdachaidh a bha fios aca a bhith an sàs ann an “cleachdaidhean muileann tablet” – is e sin, luchd-òrdachaidh a bhios a ’toirt a-mach àireamhan mòra de òrdughan stuthan fo smachd gun adhbhar meidigeach sam bith, thuirt luchd-sgrùdaidh.

A rèir a’ ghearain, cha do mhothaich CVS fianais susbainteach bho ghrunn thùsan, a’ toirt a-steach a chungaidhean fhèin agus dàta a-staigh, a’ nochdadh gu robh na stòran aca a’ toirt seachad òrdughan mar sin.

“Tha a’ chùis-lagha search engine optimisation a ’cumail a-mach nach do shoirbhich le CVS a dhleastanas deatamach a chleachdadh mar gheataiche opioids cungaidh cunnartach agus, an àite sin, chuidich e le iomadachadh mì-laghail de na drogaichean làn addictive sin, a’ toirt a-steach luchd-òrdachaidh muileann tablet, “thuirt neach-lagha na SA Zachary Cunha airson Sgìre nan Stàitean Aonaichte. Eilean Rhode thuirt e ann am fios naidheachd.

Ma lorgar CVS cunntachail, dh’ fhaodadh e a bhith an aghaidh peanasan catharra airson gach òrdugh mì-laghail air a lìonadh agus milleadh trì-fhillte agus peanasan eile airson gach òrdugh a thèid a phàigheadh ​​​​air ais le prògraman cùram slàinte feadarail.

Thuirt a’ chompanaidh gu bheil iad a’ co-obrachadh le luchd-sgrùdaidh.

“Dìonaidh sinn sinn fhèin gu làidir an-aghaidh a’ chùis-lagha feadarail meallta search engine optimisation, a tha a ’leantainn air sàilean bliadhnaichean de chùis-lagha mu na cùisean sin le riaghaltasan stàite agus ionadail – tagraidhean a chaidh fhuasgladh gu ìre mhòr mar-thà le aonta cruinneil leis an Àrd-neach-lagha stàite a tha an sàs ann,” thuirt Amy Thibault, stiùiriche conaltraidh taobh a-muigh airson CVS ann an aithris sgrìobhte.

Bha a h-uile gin de na h-òrdughan-cungaidh sin airson cungaidh-leigheis opioid aontaichte le FDA a chaidh òrdachadh le neach-dreuchd a thug an riaghaltas fhèin cead, ùghdarras agus cumhachd gus òrdughan-cungaidh fo smachd a sgrìobhadh, thuirt Thibault.

Chaidh an gearan a chuir a-steach às deidh an naidheachd Dihaoine gu bheil an McKinsey Tha companaidh comhairleachaidh & Companaidh air aontachadh $ 650 millean a phàigheadh ​​​​gus sgrùdadh feadarail a rèiteachadh mun obair aca gus saothraiche opioids a chuideachadh Pharma Purdue àrdachadh reic an droga fìor addictive OxyContin.

Is e search engine optimisation an oidhirp as ùire le luchd-casaid feadarail gus companaidhean a chumail cunntachail a tha oifigearan ag ràdh a chuidich le bhith a’ connadh èiginn tràilleachd agus cus dòs na SA, le opioids ceangailte ri còrr air 80,000 bàs bliadhnail ann am beagan bhliadhnaichean. Airson na deich bliadhna a dh ’fhalbh, tha a’ mhòr-chuid de na bàis sin air a bhith mar thoradh air fentanyl mì-laghail, a tha ceangailte ri mòran dhrogaichean mì-laghail. Na bu thràithe san tinneas tuiteamach, b’ e drugs cungaidh prìomh adhbhar bàis.

Thairis air na h-ochd bliadhna a dh’ fhalbh, tha luchd-reic dhrogaichean, mòr-reic agus bùthan-leigheadaireachd air aontachadh ri timcheall air $ 50 billean de thuineachaidhean le riaghaltasan – leis a ’mhòr-chuid den airgead a dh’ fheumar a chleachdadh gus cuir an-aghaidh an èiginn.
