The Massachusetts senator's announcement comes ahead of her trip to West Virginia on Friday to highlight the epidemic and as the opioid crisis has become an urgent focus on Capitol Hill and in the 2020 presidential campaign.Warren is slated to begin a two-day trip through West Virginia and Ohio with a stop in Kermit, West Virginia, on Friday morning.
"For example, in 2017 the number of opioid-related deaths was 692 in Baltimore, almost as high as West Virginia, 833 -- the state with the highest death rate in the country -- with most deaths occurring in the black community."The plan would provide $4 billion to states, territories and tribal governments in general funding to combat the crisis. An additional $2.7 billion would go to what Warren deems the"hardest hit" cities and counties, of which $1.

Build the wall, and leave Pocahontas on the outside ... that would be worth the hundred million.
Senator, you said $5 billion was to much to spend on building a wall along the southern boarder. The wall would stop a lot illegal of drugs coming into our country. Now you want to spend $100 billion on opioid treatment. Can we make it $95 billion & $5 billion on the wall please.
Where is all this money coming from?
Indian water.
Who’s paying for this.
Is the $100 Billion going to grow on Maple or Oak Trees?
Warren: Climate Change Scam is failing, let's fabricate an 'opiod crisis'
Can someone take the time and calculate all the money she plans on using? 100 billion here, couple million there. Etc
How about if your to stupid to know it will kill you and do it anyways, then bye !
How about stopping all the drugs coming across the open border? Makes much more sense!
Love her. She’s a brain on legs!
Yep demosocilists spending our money ,,,,, snafu
And dems and repubs need to do more for veterans. Trump and blow his horn all he wants but has done nothing
That what Dems are all about. Just keep throwing money around. The sure way to end othis robust economy, and head it into a downward spiral is to vote any of these leftist clowns in.
President Trump has been working on this since the beginning of his presidency. You’re a little late on this one, Pocahontas.
Pocahontas has a money tree growing somewhere...
Where’s the money coming from? Social security? Veterans health? Food Stamps?
Squaw Warren spends wampum like crazy.
My fellow Americans hear me! Give Sen Warren a real look, she is in tuned to the pulse of the nation and the plight of its people. If you are serious about taking our country into the future, than u owe it to yourself to read up or listen to this woman who is yes, amazing!
Democrats in office do not want the opioid crisis to cease they only want treatments because if the crisis ceased- people would clearly see what they are really about. Treatments are only a bandage.
How
Yes. I wish it was a rule that for every promise a candidate make they have to present a plan before running
That much to get folks clean? 🙄 Had people cared about this issue DECADES ago, we wouldn’t have this big price tag. Hypocrisymatters
She couldn't accomplish crap as s legislator now that she's running she has all kinds of ideas that she will pass please more Democraps lies for votes
Nothing new here. Trump already working on this
Without republican's support, her proposal is only a dream.
Hmm. . .$100 billion there, Medicare for all, free college tuition. . .she's getting expensive!
So $100 Billion in more Taxes?
...and jail time for members of the Sackler family.
Ban narcan, case closed.....
Does she realize rehabilitation is only successful for 17%
There's a war on drugs alright and it's not at the border.
Why isnt big pharma and healthcare paying for this crisis? All congressional lobbyists and elected officials who took money and cut deals should also be held accountable.
She's spending billions of dollars in all her proposals for 'solutions' to debt, medical care, now opioid addiction. NO ewarren SenWarren we'd be taxed to death if you got all the spending solutions you propose.
Between this plan, her plan for free college, student debt relief, and reparations, her entire platform is to take 100% of your paycheck for taxes. No food housing or basics for us general public people.
Why does she keep echoing what Trump is already doing?🤔
Warren keeps pumping out her policies. Seems to me it's only her and Bernie who are doing this consistently
Thank God, terrible KellyannePolls is doing nothing. This Russia backed administration is probably turning more Americans into opiate addicts.
Glad to see her addressing this, as AndrewYang has been doing since last year. yang2020
I would like to see her Harvard Diploma...
Cease all Negotiations with USA for its continued thefts through Prohibition and inability to cease usage of Healthcare.
Damn pocohontis wants to spend money likes it’s going outta style
Good to see these Democrats follow Trump's lead in the fight on opioids.
More free needles and clinics are on the way folks. Keep pumping that crap into yourself, the government will save you.
