I know that one of the real challenges we've had this summer with the hospitality industry, as the number of visas have been shrunk, has been getting in some of the workers that we need in the industry.

You know, I've also visited some advanced manufacturers who have talked about not just the need to reach out to students but to their parents.

At some point we may need to think about what we did back in the 1930s with rural electrification where we have to step in and really pay for that last mile for broadband to get to some of our homes and communities in the State.

We need to think about what we can do primarily at the Federal level to provide some incentives for the private sector to get in and provide service.

I think both of those are really creative ideas. The challenge has been resources, of course.

But it's also that his actions since becoming president and advocating for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act for instance, which would repeal our bipartisan Medicaid expansion program, so critical to treatment in New Hampshire.

And it's not just New Hampshire, obviously, it's across the country.

And so, I am urging the president to stop just talking about this issue, and actually help us deal with it by helping us get the resources we need to get people into treatment, to get the kind of work force we need.

Well, I was outraged and it's just disgusting. We are in the middle of public health and public safety challenge and crisis in our state. It's an epidemic and to hear the president of the United States characterize people with chronic…

So, I just would like the president to stop throwing insults at people dealing with a chronic illness, and really help us get the resources on the ground that we need.

For me and for my home state of New Hampshire, this is a very personal issue.

I fully support declaring a national health emergency around the opioid epidemic.

I am completely committed to promoting human rights and inclusion for all people.

I look forward to working with all parties to ensure that older adults, people with disabilities, and their families understand the choices and services available to them and know how to access them.

Unless we act, many of them may not have policies available to buy in 2018 because insurance companies will pull out of collapsing markets.

It is also really important that people have access to an integrated healthcare system if they are going to successfully control their substance use disorder.

New Hampshire has been terribly hard hit by the opioid, fentanyl, and heroin epidemic.

Unless we act, costs could rise once again making healthcare unaffordable for the additional 9 million Americans in the individual market who receive no Government support.
