Welcome Tom, Great People on Here, . I wish someone would do a Story on the Hundreds of Thousands of People who were Denied access Because Bruce Rauner said " They Only Have Chronic Pain". There are tons of Stories, even in This Thread, of Veterans and Disabled People not being allowed to Even Apply because they did not have 1 of 41 "labeled" Ailments. Despite being on Opioids for DECADES. And as They were telling Doctors to Stop or Cut way back on Prescribing for 2 million Illinois Opioid Patients, They were telling People like me, on Disability for 10 years and Oxy and Fentanyl for 15, you are not Worthy.
I basically bought My Card, after 15 Years in Pain Management, through an Outreach Type Place by getting a Dr. to Diagnose with PTSD. To Me, a person Barely getting by, to be willing to Spend $300 a month of My own Money on Canna Meds vs. only $19 for 180 OXY Pills through Insurance, and be Told, No, You only Have Chronic Pain for 15 Years, Keep Taking Opioids and Destroy Your Liver, This is such a Giant Embarrassment, and Truly Sad, and Not for Me, I am one of The Lucky Ones. There are so many who Suffered so long Needlessly, and still are, if they can not " FIND" the Right Doctor. aka Back Alley Cash, Mr. Schuba. Thank You
