(1) I live in NZ, which has the same healthcare & family courts system. You are 100% right to say disarmament weakened our peoples' ability to resist the spread of socialism. I will explain in this thread.
(2) When dear little Charlie Gard was near the end of his life, I researched his case, including reading the court filings (which are normally secret but were released in this case). He should have had international medical experts in the field assess him in person at the start.
(3) Charlie Gard had a very rare disease that was not apparent until he was several months old. His parents found a US doctor online who held out false hope and failed to visit to examine him, or even to obtain basic info from his treating hospital.
(1) To my knowledge there's only only one policy issue on which I potentially disagree with President Trump. I say potentially because its so nuanced I can't yet be sure if we really disagree. It's on the issue of the proper medical uses of opioid therapy for chronic pain.
(2) Absolutely agree with Trump's laser focus on the #OpioidCrisis, which kills 60k p/a. Obama did very little to address the tragedy. I think his actions & omissions were what suited the health industry lobbyists. He also didn't want tougher sentencing if it affected minorities.
(3) Most of the opioid crisis is driven by illicit use, with drugs trafficked illegally from cartels or the diversion of pharma drugs from the supply chain before they are lawfully dispensed by pharmacies.
