not just people that deal with rehab but prosecutors from around the country all different -- and big pharma. all the people involved. what we have to do besides increasing access because it's not enough, it's such a complex issue is we have to have a public-private partnership. on the private side we should model it after madd. all these companys that have a ton of money can be doing a huge advertising campaign to bring issues up to awareness whether you're a school or a grandmother. it's just one aspect of it. we have to deal with what do you do when you come out of rehab? there's nowhere for you go. we have to get rid rid of this stigma from being aned a dick. they have to stop making drugs that are so addictive. we have to deal with the f.d.a. so they can stop allowing these drugs to hit the market. this is such a difficult and complex issue you can't just look at increasing the access. you have to look at the whole picture. i would work with the hss secretary and look to do a pilot program with the full wait of the administration in conjunction with the city and state right here in stat
