IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THE MARKETING PRACTICES. SO SAYS BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSIONER MAGGIE HART STEBBINS OF THE OPIOID BUSINESS. IT’S ONE REASON SHE SAYS THE COUNTY COMMISSION VOTED LAST WEEK TO HIRE COUNSEL TO HANDLE THE LAWSUITS THE COUNTY WANTS TO FILE AGAINST THE COMPANIES. SHE SAYS DRUG COMPANIES ARE MAKING HUGE SUMS OF MONEY FROM THE SALE OF OPIOIDS.
HART STEBBINS TELLS US THEY HOPE THE LAWSUITS BERNALILLO COUNTY HOPES TO FILE AGAINST THESE DRUG COMPANIES LEADS TO SOME CHANGE IN HOW DRUG COMPANIES DO BUSINESS. SHE SAYS THE COMPANIES NEED TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE IN PROMOTING THESE DRUGS AS MEDICATION.
