House approves opioid bills, but not the one Baltimore health commissioner says 'we desperately need' (Baltimore Sun)
Wednesday Jun 13th, 2018
The House of Representatives, considering a legislative package to combat the opiod epidemic, won’t vote on the bill that Baltimore’s health commissioner says is “what we on the frontlines desperately need.”
“It is what we on the frontlines desperately need,” Wen said in a release this week. “It would deliver sustained funding, in an amount commensurate with the scope of the crisis, directly to areas hardest hit by addiction and overdose.”
