Mr. Mattiello has a very valuable issue that needs to be addressed. l agree with the first part of his bill. Some doctor's hand out pain medications like candy. But, for some of us who really depend on our pain med's longer or on a daily basis, it's the bad apple's who take advantage of the system that hurt the needy. l would like to see every doctor take blood and urine samples every two to three months of their patient's taken such pain meds. Part two is just a bandaid to the overlying problem. To these drug abusers, who play with their lives and try to see which one can be revived, resuscitated first and how many times, it's becoming a game. Narcan is now the drug of choice. Many doctors will write a prescription, which is a bit pricey, for Narcan for their patients who are taken Opioid-like drugs. Mr. Mattiello, good luck.
