Reporter his role in that victory memorialized in the movie the insider in which he played himself, hes putting that experience to work against big pharma charging that opioid manufacturers are largely responsible for the raging epidem epidemic. You called the industry the most corrupt and evil corporate animal in this countrys history. Thats right. Reporter what do you say about big pharma . They are pretty evil. Basically, they did the same thing the Tobacco Companies did, they lied about the addictive nature of the opioids and then went out and marketed these and told doctors everywhere its safe. Its created this huge opioid epidemic. There are 3 million opioid addicts out there in the country right now. Reporter most of whom began with prescriptions. 80 of them. Reporter moore calls out one company in particular for videos like this one. The rate of addiction amongst pain patient whose are treated by doctors is much less than 1 . When you train your work force thousands of sales people to go out and tell doctors that there is less than 1 chance of addiction if you take this drug and you know there is no study that youve done and no reliable study that anybody else has ever done that says that, then of course, youre telling a lie. Of course you are. Reporter purdue told nbc moores assessment is deeply flawed. That oxycontin represents less than 2 of todays opiod prescriptions and its driven by illegal trafficking and abuse of heroin and fentanyl but he and h colleagues recruited 23 states to the cause.

Reporter by 5 he was diagnosed with adhd. Adhd is a very real biological condition that is manifested very early on in life. Reporter in fact, as early as 4 years old according to a new study. Researchers complained brain scans of 90 Young Children and found those with adhd symptoms had smaller brain volume, especially in the frontal lobe, the area that controls motor function, attention and decision making. That sounds startling and dramatic to me. Its not subtle, it was throughout the brain. Reporter mark says the study does not recommend more children have brain scans, but it does suggest to have children be tested when they have symptoms like excessive talking and extreme trouble sitting still. We should screen earlier for adhd like other childhood conditions like developmental delay or autism. Im happy we finally figured out what the problem is and how we can treat it. Reporter with therapy and medication, nathan is improving as this discovery shows Early Intervention makes a difference. Rehema ellis, nbc news, baltimore.

How republicans in congress are using her name as a weapon in the immigration fight. Plus, the threat an east bay city is making to people sleeping in their vehicles next. The news at 6 starts right now good evening and thanks for finally tonight, its an unfortunate reality that Many Americans are just one Serious Health problem away from a deep financial hole. Collecting unpaid medical debt is a big business in this country, but tonight we have a story of a group turning the tables on debt collections, surprising strangers with a cure for their medical financial burden and they are inspiring america. When a medical emergency strikes, 43 million americans are left with a different kind of trama, crushing financial debt. For three decades, craig antigo was the voice on the end of the line. You were the guy that had to call up and say pay up. In a nutshell, what was your message . Message was this bill, im going to need to have payment. Reporter but now hes using the same expertise that allowed him to collect debt to abolish it instead. What made you want to make a difference and help people . Well, ill tell you, when you go to work and youre having to make 200 calls a day to people that cant afford to pay, it just wears on you. At 5 00 you just want to go home. Now, i cant wait to get up. Reporter antigo and a fellow collector started r. I. P. Medical debt, a nonprofit that uses donations to buy up batches of over due medical bills from hospitals and doctors for just pennies on the dollar. So 100 donation allows the group to wipe out 10,000 in medical bills. They cant respond to individual pleas, they use a formula to find and forgive the neediest, regan adair couldnt keep up payments for migraine treatments. It is aggravating to go out there and see that the bills are in the mailbox. Reporter one day a surprise, a yellow envelope with good news, nearly 3200 of her debt was forgiven. Nobody does good things when nobody is looking. And hes doing that. Hes helping so many people. Reporter rip says they have forgiven more than 120 million in medical debt for more than 60,000 patients. Their ultimate goal 1 billion. You may get this letter out of the blue that says your debt is gone. Thats exactly right. Its a random act of kindness, that you get this letter, or a call from rip medical debt saying your debt is no longer due. Nbc owned tv stations donated 150,000 to the effort and their viewers donated as well. All and all erasing 40 million of debt. That is nightly news for this monday night.

This new proposal basically bans officials from the purposeful broadcast of information related to any imminent action by a Law Enforcement or agent. It could lead to time in prison. We dont fear these kinds of grandstanding laws. Thats what i call them. Theyre not really laws. These are proposals that will never become laws as far as im concerned. Theyre unconstitutional. And its just political grandstanding. Reporter bob cook calls the proposal appropriate. Some of these criminals are very dangerous individuals. Some of them are gang members. Some beat their wives. Some of them are transporting and selling drugs and a number of other crimes that we dont
