    In too many Colorado counties, hospitals are overwhelmed w/shortage of beds & specialists; courts are barely staying above water; jails are crowded b/c of limited resources for #opioid addiction treatment. We must invest in broader effort to respond to a crisis of this magnitude.

        The bipartisan #opioidbill we passed in the HELP Committee this week brings us one step closer to combating the epidemic. We secured three provisions in the bill that will help decrease opioid use & provide those with substance use disorders the most innovative treatments faster.

        Why don’t you first figure out the real #RootCauses of the issue, effectiveness of current govt spending....or lack thereof and then determine appropriate action? Of course you libs simply want to spend more money with NO accountability

        Dems figure the money is endless; just shake-down the working-class for more more.

        Leave compliant pain patients out of your restrictions. My opioids have been taken away after 22 yrs. 10 ER visits for intractable pain and I get Tylenol. 14 mos of forced opioid weaning is torture and so is the pain I’ve been left with.

        Public buy-in for Medicare is the best solution for that problem.

        Might be part of the solution but these establishment Rs and Ds can’t quit serving their Master long enough to see that the problem is enormous

        I bet none of them pay a dime. All Medicaid. STOP Immigrates from the south and zip up those borders. Stop drug trafficking. No other country in the world would stand for this mess. It's governments fault for allowing for this to happen.

        You could just leave opioid out of your statement and it would still be true.

        Once people are addicted, they will get to the point where the doctor stops prescribing the drugs or they can no longer afford them. They then turn to heroin, which is cheaper. 90% of heroin, not to mention Fentanyl & every other drug comes from Mexico! Build the wall! @potus

        Or, we can start deportations on illegal aliens and alleviate the stress of these resources, so that US Citizens get hospital bed space.

        Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who was anti MJ will have a special on CNN, Sunday, 8pm EST. They have PROVEN that CBD helps HEAL the damage opioids create on the brain. They NEVER thought that was possible. Also HELPS addicts get off of opioids.

        We need more community hospitals. Private hospitals close or dump patients. Insurance companies are the problem.
