Issue Position: Tackling the Opioid Epidemic

Issue Position

As the opioid crisis continues to devastate families across our country, President Trump's response has been an embarrassment. Since he took office, opioid overdoses have continued to kill more Americans every year than car crashes.

Mike has been working to combat the opioid crisis for many years--and he will continue that work as president. Mike will make medications for addiction treatment more accessible, expand access to mental health care, collect better data on opioid use and overdoses, and then use that data to end this epidemic once and for all.

How Mike Will Get It Done:
Make medications for addiction treatment more accessible
Expand access to health services
Require insurance coverage of mental health care
Collect better data on opioid use and overdoses
