      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

          Many opioid addictions start with doctors prescribing addictive medications for pain management and not offering detox treatment

          The prescriptions for pain meds continue bc Ins won’t cover other modalities: therapies, etc. it goes back to healthcare.

          And it is cheaper to put these people in prisons than to provide rehabilitation and therapy

          Funding health care so more people can actually get treatment might be a decent fucking start.

          The face of addiction is wearing a white coat and a stethoscope. Part of the ACA was to develop databases to root out bad doctors and bad doctoring. You threw the baby out with the bath water.

          Lisa, work for the people instead of special interest - dirty extractive industry & timber. You're hell bent to bring environmental devastation causing irreversible damage to Alaska's ecosystem. Bleak, dark future you've created for the people w/o ACA.https://www.outsideonline.com/2279376/lisa-murkowski-anti-public-lands-lawmaker …

          Start with making the Big Pharms be accountable. Then all their stock holders giving the money they earned from the BIG PILL PUSH. The stock holders or supporters of those companies need to pay back all the money they took while the push was going on.

          Provide treatment to get off opioids. People are getting arrested for sneaking opioid treatment drugs into jail. That's crazy!

          Start with the manufacturers, like the one that sent 9 million pills to a town just over 300 population. Next up is to federally legalize marijuana for the help people get and stop taking prescriptions

          We need to commit to one another & stop this tribalism. We need the courage to feel the pain instead of inflict it. Vote for people who are thoughtful & care; who have the character to speak hard truths & see longterm. Who represent all Americans & not just the donor class.
