As toll from opioid epidemic climbs, grief turns to action at FED UP! Rally in D.C. Held October 1, 2013 WASHINGTON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Steve Rummler was a successful financial planner and musician from Minnesota who was about to get married when he died of his addiction to prescription painkillers. Emily Jackson was a Chicago 18-year-old with her whole life ahead of her when she took her uncle’s pain medication, unaware of its potential to kill. Michael Israel, formerly of Buffalo, N.Y., was just 20 years old when he shot himself in desperation, unable to kick the painkiller medley that had been prescribed for his Crohn’s disease. “This is the worst drug epidemic in U.S. history, yet the response from some federal agencies has been weak and tragically ineffective.” eon.businesswire/news/eon/20130920005732/en/Fed-Up-Rally/Washington-DC/painkiller-misuse
