      We got several important things included in this budget deal including $2.3 billion to help FL’s ag & citrus growers, $2.7 billion to help our schools, $2 billion to rebuild Puerto Rico’s power grid and $15 billion for Army Corps to use for things such as the Lake O dike.

      Senate leaders have agreed to close Medicare's "donut hole" by 2019 as part of the budget deal. Closing this coverage gap will save seniors thousands of dollars every year on their Rx drugs. It also saves taxpayers about $9 billion over ten years. That's a win-win for everyone.

      We got $6 billion included in this budget deal to help combat the opioid crisis. 5,200 people died in Florida in 2016 because of opioids, a 35% increase from the year before. This funding couldn't come at more urgent time.

          What does that mean "help combat"? Are you making rehab affordable? Getting medical marijuana or cbd oil readily available, finally? Or just putting more Narcan in place? We need real solutions. People need real help.

          You also allowed more damage to ACA and dreamers are still in limbo. You may not be nearly as bad as the @GOP, but you're still not giving us the whole truth.

          And with Kelly Anne Conjob in charge of the opioid response, how much of that money will actually be put to effective use. Come Bill, we expect better.

          You can’t say every terminal patient who was on opioids for pain died because of them, just another political witch hunt of control, NSAIDs purchased over the counter kill more Americans a year

          Sen. Nelson I respectfully request correction of the language to read "misuse of opiods." The drug itself is not bad or poisonous. Many chronic pain patients have no other recourse but must suffer because drs. fear the DEA if they prescribe them in this current climate of crisis.

          Mr. Nelson don't forget to set aside more millions of tax dollars for Hurricane relief scammer to collect. Quite a few scammers and no investigation ever.

          Bill it's not a opioid crisis, it's criminal problem, only 1% of opioid deaths were by the opioid it self, 95% was when it was mixed with other chemicals, the others do to medical issues, get the right facts, and stop the citrus BS too, growers sold out to real-estate investors.

          Why do dems have to use our vote for opioid crisis when DACA will be vulnerable to deportation. Isn’t opioid crisis in red states mostly?

          You are against the full legalization of Marijuana. You need to wake up, and get with the program. And btw, we will not forget your support for the spying bill, war in Iraq, blind support of Israel and well, the bad list goes on.

          That's just over $1.1 million for each opiod death in Florida, a state of 20 million people (that represents .00026% of the state population.)

          We need to pass a CLEAN Dream Act ASAP, not let Republicans push their agenda to cut immigration programs. Also needs to include responsible 1 child/adult Oath, so we are not inviting other countries problems. Time to behave like Adults for our kids sakes!
