Joe Manchin actually said...

I have seen the tragedy first hand in West Virginia. Sadly, we have the highest mortality rate in the country.

I have worked to reschedule Hydrocodone, combination drugs like Vicodin, Lortab, trying to get them from three to two.

I mean, common sense, remove and replace.

I have heard some alarming stories from my constituents, and often they are prescribed one drug after another.
