Drug addiction is a healthcare issue. Trump and the GOP are busy cutting the budget for healthcare. The folks hurt the most will be those "poorly educated" white folks that elected Trump in the Rust Belt and Appalachia.  It looks like the GOP is trying to kill off their base of support. To paraphrase Napoleon, don't interfere with an enemy that is destroying it's self. That GOP base is suffering from opiate addiction of "poorly educated" rural white people. I would pity them if they didn't think killing minorities would make their lives better. I grew up black in Ohio in the 1950's. I was told to stay way from that part of the state. The Klan is strong down there. When it was minorities that were being hunted for drug addiction, mass incarceration was the answer. Now that it is poor white folks doing drugs, they are looking for a medical solution. Too bad Trump couldn't care less.
