    allowing people impacted by chronic pain to re-enter the work force

    You mean they’re just going to force utterly crippled and suffering people to work instead of taking some time to heal in a hospital…

      No, lots of people out there years out from an accident or injury can’t work and it leads to the opioid addiction cycle; having an option to control the pain and get people able to either work or do hobbies again, or do things with their families, would be huge.

      Nowhere in their comment did they even come close to implying what you’re suggesting. There are many folk who’d love to go back to doing the things they love, which includes actual work, but can’t, because the hospital did all they could and sent them on their way to deal with crippling pain on their own. This might let those people go back to doing what they love to do.

      Stop making shit up.

      There are multiple conditions that cause pain for no apparent physiological reason.
