    Each day, 116 Americans die of opioid-related drug overdoses. @HHSGov and the entire federal government are committed to ending the crisis of opioid addiction and overdose in America. We have formulated a five-point strategy to stop the epidemic. https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/ pic.twitter.com/cl5V6W2PXn

        Question Everything @LMAO_in_Fla
        Alex Azar, head of the DHS, has repeatedly stated to Congress & the public, that he can find any of these immigrant children with just a few keystrokes. According to Government Executive, he's lying. #WhereAreTheChildren #KeepFamiliesTogether https://www.govexec.com/management/2018/06/some-2300-separated-children-are-filed-under-wrong-name/149228/?oref=relatedstories …

        By better pain management do you mean the denial of pain medication because that IS what is happening. Many CPP being identified as addicted. Addiction is horrible but so is untreated cp. medication HAS helped people.

        This is an addiction crisis because we have no prevention strategy. 90% of addiction starts with teens mostly using alcohol and marijuana. By the time they have overdoses addiction has set in it is too late. Media Stop promoting drugs to teens and young adults.

        How long did this take you to think this up? Really, you could have asked any nurse and they could have told ya that, actually they could help with policy since they actually deal with the majority of patients and know more than you guys who made a chart of what is already known
