Rand Paul actually said...

"I think we can argue that the increase in opioids that we have seen with Medicaid expansion might be unintended, but I do not think we can argue that it is unforeseen."

"But something dramatic is going to have to happen, and I promise you, if we just throw more money at this, the problem will get worse."

"If you throw more money at Medicaid now and you do not have rules on prescribing or you do not have significant changes on prescribing, you are going to get more of the problem."

"I think, though, overall we are going to need a much more dramatic change in how we prescribe."
