Drug dealers using homeless to obtain prescription drugs.ABC World News (12/14, story 7, 3:00, Stephanopoulos) reported that in Houston, Texas, "over the last four years, there have been over 1,200 deaths of accidental overdoses from prescription drugs. So, 20/20 anchor Chris Cuomo and his team went undercover and found a surprising group being recruited to buy the drugs -- the homeless." Every day, homeless men are ferried to pain "clinics and paid $20 for each prescription they get." Unlike illicit "drugs, where possession of the drug is enough to make a case, here, the pain pills are all legal. So, we're probably going to see a lot more of this across the country."
