01/04/2019 Tweet - "Heartbreaking. No mother should lose her son because he can't afford the price of his medication. We should pass my bill allowing people to buy FDA-approved, low-cost drugs from Canada. Americans pay 40% more on prescriptions than Canadians do!"
10/23/2018 Tweet - "Great news! Today, my Help for Moms and Babies Act and Children's Health Insurance Program Parity Act will be signed in to law. These bills support the many families in Michigan dealing with substance use disorders and the opioid epidemic."
10/03/2018 Tweet - "Great to see my two bills pass as part of bipartisan opioid legislation that will help our families in Michigan dealing with substance use disorders and the opioid epidemic."
09/17/2018 Tweet - "Pleased the Senate just passed bipartisan legislation to help address the opioid epidemic and support our families in Michigan dealing with substance abuse."
06/27/2018 Tweet - "I also asked HHS Sec. Azar if this administration is going to take action on outrageous rising drug prices like life-saving Naloxone. He did not have an answer."
05/29/2018 Tweet - "A new report from the Justice Department shows that Purdue Pharma knew OxyContin was highly addictive and prone to abuse, yet still advertised it as less addictive than other opioids on the market. This is outrageous!"
05/02/2018 Tweet - "The price gouging on opioid reversal drugs like naloxone is reprehensible. Companies are taking advantage of the pain, suffering, and the loss of life caused by overdoses in order to turn a profit. We need to lower the cost of these life-saving drugs."
04/19/2018 Tweet - "Today in @SenateFinance I called on the Trump Admin to negotiate the lowest price for naloxone. It's outrageous that this life-saving drug was once available for $1 and, as the opioid epidemic has become a national crisis, drug companies have dramatically raised the price."
04/18/2018 Tweet - "Our Michigan police officers, firefighters, and first responders use naloxone to reverse the effects of opioid overdoses and save lives. Even though naloxone has been around since the 1970s, the price keeps going up. That's outrageous!"
