An issue that I brought up at previous hearings, as my colleague Senator Paul has mentioned, is the imposition of gag clauses on pharmacists.

Thank you so much for coming forward with Jason's story. And I just want to assure you that your advocacy has made a real difference.

It's hard to imagine what else the Trump Administration could be doing right now to undermine the health of our communities.

In 2014, I worked to ensure that our service members and veterans could participate in safe prescription drug disposal programs throughout the Department of Defense and VA.
