one out of every four adults in west virginia is covered by west virginia medicaid. three out of five low income individuals one out of every two children born in west virginia are covered by medicaid. three out of four of all our nursing home residents and one out of every few people with disabilities. so, in west virginia, medicaid has quite a large footprint in the health care system. so, when the decision was to whether or not we were going to expand medicaid under the aca, one of the things that was taken into consideration is we need a healthy work force in west virginia. our economy is changing, and at that time, we were starting to see the rise of the opioid epidemic in west virginia. 20,000 of our medicaid expansion members actually have a primary diagnosis of sud. 50,000 of our expansions members actually have a secondary diagnosis of sud. and so, when we expand medicaid in west virginia we used one of the flexibilities offered and we use it modified 1115 waiver in order to get people on the rolls. our act wary predict by year 2 or 3 we would have 90,000 in

i can never thank you enough in the people of west virginia. i do feel like i came up with a bunch of good ideas. at the same time i thank you for your work. this is not a dictatorship. this is not one, it's a body of people that are all in this together. working for one cause in my book. that is for the people of this state. when i got here we had multiple years. for five years of cutting budgets. didn't have anywhere to go. we had to cut. we had to cut to balance the budget. we haven't had any cut budgets recently. we will not have one today either. today we have things that are so good, surpluses. no new taxes. did you hear that? no new taxes. in fact, we are going to embark on significant tax cuts. now i know there are those out in the never never land that are wondering how. how could it be? how can you possibly embark on all of these things that have been introduced or that are floating around out there. i want to tell you tonight. i am going to tell you at the end of the day you are going to see a budget that has increased less than the

i just spent a month in huntington, west virginia. they have been effective in bringing down the overdose rate, in part through law enforcement. that's important. there are other elements to it including cutting back on the prescribing giving people who are addicted to these drugs access to treatment and breaking down the stigma around drug addiction. i think that's one of the biggest issues thanks many of whom don't become addicted because they began by experimenting with drugs. they took the drugs as they were prescribed. >> the subtitle is the opioid tragedy in three acts. is that cycle that you went through the three acts that you talk about? >> yes. i look at the origins of this. one thing in writing the book and why this one on and has gone on for two decades is that you wonder where the alarm bells are being wrong. why was this a long allowed to drag on for so long. where were the early warnings. one thing that became quite apparent is that they were deeply disturbed in the very first years of this epidemic. they saw the signs.

my father was a coal miner here in west virginia. and he lost his job back in 2012 and frankly, that was directly because of obama's

i think the senators, the senators on the floor, all three of them, from alaska, virginia and west virginia for their leadership in getting us where we are today. i yield the floor. >> the senator from virginia. >> meta-president let me first of all echo the comments by my friend the senator from tennessee. know whatver fully was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back, but i do believe that under the leadership of the senator from alaska when 16 of us came to the floor yesterday and made the comments, senators on the republican side saying please let's reopen the government. senators on the democratic side like myself saying, i'm open to increasing the dollar amount on border security. the presidinging officer's comments, i rise to welcome the news that sanity has prevailed at least temporarily. after 35 painful days we are finally poised to reopen the government and pay our hard-working federal employees. and it is not a moment too soon. todaynormal circumstances was supposed to be a federal payday. but this morning thousands of federal employees went to work one more day knowing

you open the story of the american opioid crisis in wilmington, west virginia in the mid-1990s. why there and why then? >> when i was researching the book, one of the things that was most surprising to me, the book came out in my reporting for the guardian, i am talking to people in west virginia which is a crucible of the epidemic and remains the epicenter to the extent it was by far the highest overdose rate in the country. one of the things that are striking to me with the number of people i spoke to the talked about being sworn into addiction through prescribing in the late 90s and early 2000s, i was struck by the fact that this was an epidemic begun under bill clinton's presidency and had run through george bush george w. bush and barack obama and here we were finally at the end of the obama presidency into the trump presidency before getting the kind of national attention that it needed. i decided to go back and look at where it began. west virginia really calculated a lot of elements of the epidemic, but one of them was the prescribing, the beginning of the prescribing, v

particularly in places like west virginia. a lot of the workers that initially it came through workers compensation schemes. for a while you are funded. it is when -- >> 20 years? >> no, it is when you need more than is prescribed in debt, he describes how the money that should have gone to his children and to other things, just went to pay for drugs. but it also, you know it contributes -- there plenty of crimes because of this and there are no, small towns in eastern kentucky where people tell you, 20 years ago we never lock their door. 20 years ago you know everything was safer in here. we all knew each other and now, we don't even trust our own relatives. and then he comes home one day and he's been robbed. and he's lost everything. including because he'd been collecting, hit a knife and gun collection for his son. and he discovers eventually, it is a son that robbed him. and the levels of distress to go up in these communities because people are so desperate for drugs, they basically will do anything. the other thing is h

why do joe manchin win in west virginia? donald trump one west virginia by 43 points. i think opioid west virginia partly because people knew him but also because he made the campaign about his opponents effort to tank pre-existing conditions in the affordable care act. so interesting it might be one of them most pro trump and a state that is deeply loyal to obama care and why did utah, nebraska and idaho by referendum embrace medicaid expansion? obamacare? it's because there is a recognized need. so there are some differences on the democratic side but i think the differences between dems with what the republican orthodoxy is so stark that the differences on the dems side will seem stark by comparison. >> this is an issue that really hits close to home and people are, you spent a lot of time in the coalfields. what is your idea of what is happening to opioid addiction in west virginia? >> first if you haven't read that macy, if you haven't read her book dope sick it's really a good read. even if you read dreamland and other books about the opioid crisis, it's a great

you can't, and west virginia is not going to accept the extremes. and here is a state, my little state of west virginia has benefited percentage wise from more democratic policies over the years since fdr to present, and more than any other state p percentage-wise, but it is a state that has flipped and voted most for president trump, so i would say that if i were running for president, i want to know how do i go to an area and find out why people who are voting against their own best interests will continue to do so. at a detriment to themselves and their family. so i am saying that if you want to know why national politics and national democrats are not winning and in rural america, come to west virginia and i will be happy to host you all and let you see for yourself appalachian and let you basically see the overreach and the over reaction and the extremism on either side how it affects real people who depend on a paycheck day by day and week by week, and we are happy to have you. >> when you say a centrist is the way forward and it does not soun

, he won all counties in west virginia, get west virginia democrats given to hillary clinton. was talking about job training with jobs that do not exist. so someone would have to go through training and then relocate out of west virginia. president trump, even though he said a lot of things i do not agree with -- i did not agree with the lack of respect that he has for a lot of things he was saying, but i will tell you he was the one at least letting the people of west virginia know that he was going to try to help them continue to feed their families. it is no different than what he did in ohio and in places like michigan where he talked about basically saving the auto industry. those people supported him because they believed, even though in many cases they do not know if he was going to pull it off, but at least it was saying i will do everything in my power to keep you working in that job. that is what made a life people say you know what, he is offering this, and the other is offering some been far worse, so let's put our hands in the fact that maybe he will be able to fo

and you were raised in west virginia. tell me about your upbringing.ohn: i was raised by two doctors. and they were in med school at the time that i came along. i might have been a surprise because that's not necessarily the logical time when you have a child. they both were amazing. my dad taught me about vision and strategy. he could see five and 10 years out. he talked to me about how to do it, which was unusual for a doctor. usually they're not good business leaders. mom was internal medicine and psychiatry. she taught me the emotional side. and they are two of my idols in life. emily: you've been very open about growing up dyslexic. how much of a struggle was that for you? john: it was a big struggle. because this was at a time dyslexia was not understood. for those of you who are dyslexic or have family members, you actually read backwards. you invert letters. you can make the same wrong turn driving again and again and again. to answer your question have it -- how it makes me feel, my hands are sweet talking about it. i probably never would have

the safest to west virginia v. barnette. as so capably demonstrated this morning, the mistreatment of jehovah's witnesses hit the conscience of every honest hearted american, and the supreme court also had a conscience. and realized it made a big mistake with gobitis, so much so that when walter barnette brought his case to court, the supreme court ruled in favor of the barnette family, and of course this went all the way to the supreme court, and we are commemorating it to this day, 75 years later. said those inurt dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. achieves only the magnanimity of the graveyard. ladies and gentlemen, i want you to take a step back, put the flag salute issue on the back step for a moment. this is very different from just the flag salute issue. in the gobitis decision, justice had argued strenuously that government have the right to compel the flag salute, and when government obligated people to do something, people should obey. this washt was that required in order to save the , butmity

why did joe manchin win in west virginia? donald trump won west virginia by 43 points. i think joe manchin won west virginia partly because people knew him but because he made the campaign about his opponent's effort to tank preexisting conditions and affordable care act. a state that might be one of the most pro trump and anti-president obama states is also a state deeply loyal to obamacare and expanding healthcare coverage. why did utah, nebraska and idaho by referendum embrace medicaid expansion, a obamacare, it's because there is a recognized need. there are some differences on the democratic side, but, again, i think the differences between dems compared with the republican orthodoxy now is so stark that the differences on the dem side will seem minor by comparison. >> opioid addiction is an issue that hits close to home in the state that you and i love and have lived in. you've spent a lot of time in the coal fields and elsewhere. what is your sign wave of what's happening to opioid addiction in virginia? >> first on christmas reading list if you haven't read beth
