yup, but it also ties into some of the health care scams that go on around the country.  Like methadone.   Get welfare drug addicts addicted to a prescription only drug that needs to be taken and dispensed daily, and the user can die if they go without.  with every dose paid by the government.  They get you on the stuff knowing you will be on it for YEARS while they milk the gravy train having you come back for 2 minute visits and daily prescriptions.  I witnessed a close relative go through years of it, and learned alot about how messed up it all is. 

We have a great health care system, but like everything, it has lots of flaws and ways people can take advantage.  I wouldnt trade it though.  Im not exactly healthy and if i lived 15 minutes south of here i would basically be bankrupt.

Its funny you mention that, I just had to read an article about a drug just like that called oxycodone, its a pain killer too, in my health science class and we had a debate about it...now I can't find the article damn.  I think it was about how it was legal in Canada and illegal in the US and it talked about why it should be illegal here, but I can't remember the reasons now...
