We're not going to arrest our way out of this problem. It's not going to happen.

I don't meet people who are addicted that want to be addicted.

We have got to have as part of our response a revitalization of rural America.

I do believe that we must have a Marshall Plan for attacking this, much like we did with the HIV epidemic with the Ryan White bill.

That is really a good question. But that example about that pill going from costing $7.50 to $1,500 means that the owner of that pill--and Martin Shkreli is the guy who did it; he is now in jail--was able to corner the market and then just…
