Law to require behind the counter medicines echoes Kansas plan
Congress weighs a nationwide rule to bar certain cold medicines like Sudafed behind the counter to curb meth production. Kansas recently received nearly $5 million in grants for meth enforcement, but critics say treatment funding lags. SRS data show meth as the No 1 drug of choice in Reno County, rising from 6.4 percent in 1999 to 29.9 percent last year with teens treated increasing from zero to 17. Without adequate treatment funding, the fight against meth remains imbalanced despite intensified policing.

Mercer data show US average compensation at 33,195 versus Germany 50,445 and UK 46,541, with weak social contributions and lax regulation aiding cost advantage.
