Patrick Leahy actually said...

"It's alarming and disappointing that from the start of the administration, the President has not made the necessary investments to tackle the opioid epidemic."

"Talk is cheap; money is effective."

"Last year drug overdoses claimed the lives of 64,000 people in this country."

"We need a comprehensive plan to address all of these issues if we're going to get the opioid epidemic under control."
