Minnesota non-opioid directive HF 1379: refuse opioids

HF 1379 would create a statewide non-opioid directive so patients can decline opioid prescriptions except in emergencies. Supporters call it a commonsense safeguard after years of rising overdose deaths. Clinicians and advocates urge a balanced rollout that preserves pain care and expands treatment and harm reduction. The post MN House bill would allow patients to refuse opioids appeared first on Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder.
