i added amendments i thought were available. my president, barack obama, a man i served with on the senate signed it into law. all good arguments on the side of the law, but the net result of it, lack of vitch wlevigilan is unacceptable. they need to be health to a higher regard with regards to these opioids. this story strikes me the distrust between the public and washington. i sit here and ask myself how do 100 extraordinarily intelligent people get snowed by this bill? what do you say to the american public? they have a legitimate interest in it and legitimate reason to be skeptical how this was handled. i look at the end product and say i didn t see this coming. i certainly wasn t there standing up saying i ve got to find a way to go easy on distributors senting many more opioid pills into communities than they could possibly need.
