We have seen in our Medicaid program in Ohio, through this lock-in program, a 41-percent reduction in dosages for certain narcotics.

I want to thank Senators Portman, Brown, Casey, and Kaine, whose offices and colleagues and staff met on many occasions.

The administration has been seeking the authority from Congress to allow Medicare to use the tool that Medicaid already uses.

We have a solid bill that will help opioid-addicted seniors find treatment.

You are going to get that request from Ohio, I will tell you.

Well, you can see it. It is right here, and it makes a lot of sense.

In fact, on August 25th we celebrate the 100th year anniversary of our National Parks.

I do believe you are going to see a formal request coming from them very soon for you to engage with them as you are required to do under the Omnibus.

I hear this from my State of Ohio where, as you know, we have a considerable interest in this potential change in terms of the Stream Protection Rules and what impacts it is going to have on jobs.

I think that is important.

This is a strong tool to reduce doctor- and pharmacy-shopping.

Of course, it is. In fact, this very legislation will help people get into treatment, because, once they are identified as a frequent abuser, they actually are given the information and a referral to treatment.
