“While most of the attention has been paid to the Covid pandemic in the last year, our nation’s substance abuse epidemic has grown event worse. Yet, our healthcare system still unnecessarily encourages the use of opioids. Our bill would ensure that non-opioid drugs and devices to treat and manage pain are not put at a disadvantage. While pain management for all patients should be handled between a patient and doctor, opioids should not be the first or only option given.”
Rep. McKinley (R-WV), Champion Sponsor of H.R. 3259
