senator mike lee was the one, i have no idea why he voted against it. but it was 98 to 1 and it passed the house almost unanimously. there was a few members. but what the bill did is require the post office to screen packages coming from china for fentanyl because most come from china. it provides a grant program for comprehensive centers and increases the acts to medicine treatment that pts people with their problem and allows medicaid to pay for 30 days of rehab, which medicaid never was allowed to pay for. we mentioned mexico quite a bit, so i wanted to touch on it like martha said. almost all the heroine comes from mexico. in the early '90s when the drug cartel started to move to the united states, they would live in heavily immigrant communities because there would be an inbuilt dw community and they would sell it to kids. and now what happens a lot is china produces fentanyl >> ships it to mexico and drug members usually either a put it in heroine and other drugs and, two, when people are buying valium on the street, it's usually fentanyl mix that

the lone no vote by the way came from republican mike lee. the truth is most lawmakers and most americans want to do something about opioid addiction. by suggesting one party doesn't the president is doing good people in both parties a disservice along with the truth. and of course there's always more. the president also has been promising a big middle class tax cut by next month even though congress is out of session. today he was forced to admit he would propose one. keeping them honest the deal is not finalized, the dollar amount right now is closer to $14 million, and the job numbers are unfounded. when he began talking about this in march he put the number at 40,000, and then it became 450,000 and 500,000 and 600,000 saudi job investments in the country. the list goes on and on. it is a flood of misinformation, and perhaps that's the point in hopes that the voter just can't keep up with what is fact and what is fiction. with just 15 days to go to the mid-terms, the truth has a long way to go, and lies, they have a head start. with that i

senator mike lee was the one. i don't know why he voted against it but he was the one. i have no idea why. sorry to say. anyway, 98-one and pass the house almost unanimously. so what the building was it required the post office to screen packages coming from china for fentanyl because most of it now comes from china. it creates a grant program for comprehensive recovery centers as well as housing and job turning for people get out of rehab. it increases the access medication-assisted treatment that helps people with their substance abuse problem. for the first ever it allows medicaid to pay for 30 days of rehab which medicaid before had never been allowed to pay for. which are all great things and we mention mexico quite a bit so want to just touch on that. as martha said, between 90-94% of all the heroin intercountry does come from mexico. in the early 90s when the drug court and started moving to the training they would live within have immigrant communities because there was an inbuilt loyalty to some of your own nationality and then they would use usually white kids
