Release: Can't Be for Tackling Opioids While Cutting Medicare, Medicaid and Sabatoging Individual Market

Washington, DC – “While the President’s diving into the opioid crisis is welcome, the President’s efforts cannot be successful if he simultaneously takes hundreds of billions of dollars out of the US health care system through aggressive cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, and sabotages the individual market which is raising costs for tens of millions of people and causing many millions to lose their insurance and access to basic care.

Today the President will be promising to be give the American people more tools to tackle the opioid crisis. He is in fact giving them far less."
