I want to talk as well about the Republican healthcare plan and point out why it is moving on very treacherous territory when it will affect the funding of Medicaid by lessening the amount of Medicaid money that will be spent in the…

So what we need to do is to take a comprehensive approach to helping our State and local governments respond to this opioid epidemic. I was very happy to be an early part of putting together and sponsoring a bill called the Comprehensive…

Many, many thanks to the leader for his kind remarks. The final bill was negotiated by the big four--the two leaders in the Senate and the two leaders in the House. It was not going to happen this way unless the leaders all agreed, so my…
