    In 2017, drug overdoses were responsible for more deaths than either car crashes or gun violence. Learn the facts about the opioid crisis and find resources for prevention, treatment, and recovery. https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/ pic.twitter.com/5IouHBnWWy

        Sounds to me like you are admitting to doing a pretty crappy job with the Opioid Crisis. @SeemaCMS don't you agree? You can still quit you know... #RunSeemaRun

        The best way to stop opioid addiction is to provide a safe non-killing alternative to the masses. And Brother, you control the patent!

        You and your staff are at the forefront of this crisis and I know personally HHS is committed to the fight as well as compassionate to those of us that have lost. If my son would have survived, there would have still been 71,999 Overdose deaths in 2017. With life there is hope.pic.twitter.com/KvWXFn5KVy

        Prevention before treatment!! We need to educate in schools and the public so we don’t have to treat the abuser

        You need health care to deal with the opioid crisis. Your admin is trying to gut healthcare. I guess that is what to expect from guys who put kids in cages
