Opioid Bill Gets Bipartisan Support
THURSDAY, Sept. 27, 2018 -- In a rare bipartisan move, both the House and Senate have reached a compromise on legislation to address the opioid epidemic.
Containing a mix of law enforcement and public health measures, including one that aims to block deadly fentanyl from being imported through the mail and one that will allow more nurses to prescribe medication for opioid addiction, the bill is 653 pages long, The New York Times reported. Yet another part of the legislation could make it easier for Medicaid recipients to get inpatient care for substance abuse over the next five years, the newspaper said.
