"I think the equivalent of the opioid epidemic in terms of the scope and the number of lives it has touched is more like HIV epidemic."

"I think one of the issues that I had not focused on so much until your testimony today is the consequences of opioids on things like falls, or heart risk, or other risk to organs."

"The Co-Prescribing Saving Lives Act sponsored by Senator Kaine is also an important step in the right direction."

"I would like to have that report with the Virginia specific data and have it submitted in the record of this hearing."
