    How can we do more to facilitate a conversation about the fact that the ppl who are dealing with addiction are not bottom of the barrel, are not people at the bottom of society? This is a question I asked today in a HELP Cmte Hearing on the opioid crisis http://bit.ly/2ERrnqg

        How do we change the face of addiction so that there is the ability as society to embrace what we have to do to solve addiction? The issue of addiction & how opioids are devastating our communities around AK & around the country needs to be a priority http://bit.ly/2ERrnqg

        More thoughts and prayers Lisa? How about health care and treating addiction as a disease and not a moral failure? The ACA was a lifeline for people with addiction and you sold them out for a barrel of oil. You are just empty words now. #VoteThemOut2018

        I think we need the courage to tell the truth and uplift one another— that starts from the top. So, one, vote out Trump and the @GOP. Next we need to care about the health of Americans. So, step two, vote out Trump and the @GOP.

        ...there are waitlists of up to three months if not more to get into a counseling program. We should work at a local level and find a solution that works and share with other states our success and failures towards helping each other find the best solution.

        Great, that's why you voted for the #TaxScamBill In order to pay for it YOUR party will slash #Medicare so you're basically sentencing the people who voted for your to death. Hope you enjoy your pay off money.

        Your actions to strip healthcare from millions, continue endless global war, prop up predatory businesses and ignore/exacerbate climate change actively contribute to worsening this crises. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, YOUR QUESTION IS EMBARRASSING.

        Providing, if not incentivizing, providers to treat; having the facilities and personnel to accommodate persons; educating both providers and patients regarding the sometimes strenuous path towards recovery aka it’s okay to fail at the beginning...

        How about instead of giving tax breaks to the rich, you try funding rehab, intervention and educational services?

        Again, YOU took away insurance from those in need to get treatment so that YOU and your millionaire friends could get tax breaks at their expense. No one cares what YOU have to say anymore. #TrumpTaxScam

        My 86 year old grandma, a twice a week church goer, got addicted to opioids after a hip replacement. Her doctors prescribed her Oxycontin and fentanyl patches. She was hiding pills around her house, over medicating herself. numerous times mom would find her in semi-conscience

        How about treating them as people who have a problem that need help. We don't treat ppl with cancer as bottom of barrel, we don't treat ppl with bipolar disorder as bottom of barrel.

        Dems know they aren’t the bottom feeders. It’s Republicans who believe they are. Start by taking away the tax breaks for your rich friends and put the money into healthcare. This is lip service by you.
