In 2017, 48,000 opioid deaths. Higher rate than peak of AIDS epidemic. 2235 deaths in PA in 2016; tripling of overall death rate from 2012

The incumbent said in the recent debate that it’s ludicrous to hold pharmaceutical companies culpable. Audience here laughs. Much of his campaign funding is from big pharma

Comment from a student, who is going to be a teacher. Her car loan is 3%; her private student loans (80,000) are at 9%. Her 11 year old students ask her about student debt
