I do.

They have an innocent name for those pill mills. "pain management
clinics" and it is basically a "quack in the box" that does nothing
but write legal heroin prescriptions.
There does not really seem to be any oversight.
"Hey doc, it hurts right here".
"OK give me $50 and here is your prescription. See you in 2 weeks".
Your drug plan gets the oxy heroin price down to $2 or so.
The drug store makes their profit, the drug company makes their
profit, the insurance company spreads that cost among the customers
along with their profit and everyone is happy.

Well, it ain't me. I'm allergic to both Oxycodone and Hydrocodone.
