Tammy Baldwin actually said...

"We have a duty to guarantee that our veterans and their families receive the highest quality care that they deserve and that they have earned and this bipartisan bill will do just that."

"The goal of my bipartisan bill is to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach of relying only on more opioids to treat patients with pain."

"I want to appreciate you and Senator Blumenthal for convening this hearing to discuss a number of important bills, including my bipartisan bill, the Jason Simcakoski Memorial Opioid Safety Act."

"This bipartisan legislation is aimed at addressing the problem of over-prescribing practices at the VA and providing safer and more effective pain management services to our Nation's veterans."
