The administration spent over $.5 billion on a Web site that they had been warned for several months would not be ready and would not work.

Opiate addiction surrounds us--from cities, rural towns, and affluent suburbs--and it breaks our heart to see so many families torn apart by abuse of drugs that are both legal and illegal.
