Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, top officials debate national approach to drug policy.
The head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy said his agency has made improvements in the administration's strategy to help combat a national opioid crisis, however, a government watchdog says those efforts are still a work in progress.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., expressed frustration with the responses she'd received to requests for further information. “While I’m pleased to hear that the administration is supporting efforts to combat the opioid crisis and that the president’s budget requests some discretionary funds for this purpose, it seems that upon closer inspection he’s actually gutting the very programs that are critical to combating the opioid epidemic,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
Mike Cannon lost his youngest son, Jonathan, to an overdose. In the aftermath, he recalled noticing families in his community who avoided talking about drug addiction, out of fear of stigma.
