💊 Rush to Reason: “Opioids, Accountability & the Bigger Pharma Picture”

What if the biggest drug crisis in American history wasn’t a mistake—but a business model? In this explosive, can’t-miss episode of Rush to Reason, John Rush, Dr. Kelly Victory, and Steve House pull back the curtain on Purdue Pharma’s role in fueling America’s opioid epidemic—and why the $7.4 billion settlement is little more than a cost of doing business.

They uncover how Big Pharma fraudulently marketed highly addictive drugs like OxyContin as “non-addictive,” used medical journals and insurance incentives to pressure doctors, and even manipulated electronic records to create a system where pain became the “fifth vital sign.” The result? Doctors overprescribed. Patients became addicted. And more than 500,000 people died.

While states will now receive billions for future treatment programs, individual victims and families are largely left out—and the Sackler family remains insulated by philanthropic fronts and legal loopholes. Is this real justice, or just strategic damage control?

But it doesn’t stop there. The ripple effects of this scandal have now made it harder for patients with legitimate pain to access relief, as the pendulum swings too far in the other direction. Meanwhile, many opioid deaths today stem not from prescriptions—but from black-market pills laced with deadly fentanyl.

The episode then takes a sharp turn into Medicaid reform, unpacking the truth behind so-called “$800 billion cuts” and the controversy over taxpayer-funded care for illegal immigrants. Should able-bodied Americans earning middle-class incomes still qualify for full Medicaid? And why are some families riding $2,500 bikes while collecting public benefits?

From courtroom settlements to emergency rooms, from addiction to accountability, this episode doesn’t just raise questions—it demands answers. Listen here.
