<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There plan did not even address the issue of over perscribing pain meds so I do not see how it will help. When there is an issue you need to address that head on and not beat around the bush with it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Are they really over-prescribing? Or are we, as a country, too stupid to recognize the vast number of veterans with physical health and pain issues... I live with chronic pain, and it sucks the life out of me...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It is good to see any degree of innovation at the VA. The customer base continues to grow and must be adjusted to.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So where is the plan for addressing the allegations of over-prescribing pain medication???
