Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Pennsylvania for his leadership. Various doctors may not realize they are prescribing duplicative opioid painkillers. We have done the lock-in with Medicaid. In many States, it has worked. This is a commonsense solution to help a relatively small number of people but a growing number of seniors whom a Medicare lock-in could assist. I urge support for the Toomey-Brown amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Pennsylvania.
