Patrick Toomey actually said...

Mr. Chairman, thank you very much for convening this hearing and for cosponsoring the bill, the Stopping Medication Abuse and Protecting Sen...

Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) has introduced S. 1913, the Stopping Medication Abuse and Protecting Seniors Act.

We urge the Senate to appropriately respond to the epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose deaths by passing this legislation.

Your legislation would address this problem head on by stopping the epidemic where it starts--at the pharmacy counter.
