56 million to drop the OD death rate by nearly a quarter? This is exactly the sort of thing I want to see my taxes doing, directly improving people’s lives, and the cost is a drop in the bucket for federal budgets.

And his reasoning is bullshit, you can work to address the deeper cause while mitigating the symptoms, it isn’t an either/or

No one is above the law

Agreed… Maybe you should be telling your boss that…

I’m glad you ultimately realized that.
