How did the opioid crisis develop through big pharma corruption and over-prescription practices?

The opioid crisis emerged through systematic corruption within the pharmaceutical industry, where companies prioritized profit over patient welfare. Healthcare expert Brigham Bueller explains that pharmaceutical companies deliberately incentivized the over-prescription of opioids, creating widespread addiction and devastating community impacts. This crisis represents a clear example of how corporate greed can corrupt healthcare systems, leading to one of the most significant public health disasters in recent history. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for healthcare reform and corporate accountability to prevent similar tragedies.
