Journal Article
US opioids: Congress passes bill to tackle epidemic but provides little new funding
2018
Overview
Senator Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican who was the bill’s lead sponsor, said that, despite Democrats’ and Republicans’ contentious disagreement on other subjects, “we have an urgent, bipartisan consensus, a virtually unanimous agreement, to deal with the most urgent public health epidemic facing our country today.” Keith Humphreys, a drug policy expert at Stanford University who worked with Senate and House staff on the bill, told the news website Vox that the lack of funds “reflects a fundamental disagreement between the parties over whether the government should appropriate the large sums a massive response would require. The Food and Drug Administration will be required to draw up new opioid prescribing guidelines for various conditions, and Medicare patients considered at risk will be part of a drug management programme.
