Actually, the New Hampshire Hospital Association also opposes the bill for the very same reason. We have hospitals at risk if this bill is passed.

New Hampshire is one of the States that has been hit hardest by the opioid epidemic.

Thank you, Senator Portman and Ranking Member Carper, for allowing me to participate in this Subcommittee and for your leadership on the STOP Act.
