Houston Pill Mills Still A Problem

This one was operating next to the Channel 2 studio. I remember moving back to Houston several years ago and being astounded how big the problem here had gotten, legislation had been enacted in 2014 but things haven't slowed down that much and now with prices rising and pills being harder to obtain, heroin is on the rise here:

"It wasn't anything like what you would see for a normal individual going to a doctor for a check-up or an exam," he said. "When you have patients coming into your business you've been seeing for 35-40 years and they are saying, 'What's going on next door, I don’t feel safe.'"

Channel 2 cameras captured long lines of people waiting to get into this clinic, along with drivers dropping off several people at once. The doctor who contacted Channel 2 also contacted Houston police and in the middle of our surveillance, officers raided the clinic...

...Campbell said the practitioners who cross the line are small in number compared to the legitimate pain management clinics within Houston’s thriving medical community. However, he said these rogue clinics are, in part, why Houston has become known as a "source city."

"A place that people will come to get pills, not only from our region, but also from other states," said Campbell. "Those doctors that choose to cross that line are nothing more than a drug dealer in a white coat."

The DEA has launched a nationwide crackdown on prescription drug abuse, but an investigation into a single clinic can takes several months to complete.

Does it involve white northerners? If not, then who (of the presidential candidates) cares?
