In 2018 there was a 4.1% drop in drug overdose deaths in the United States. This is the first drop in 29 years. We must continue to push the envelope in #PublicHealth to continue this trend in the RIGHT direction. #AMANAC 
While we have made great strides, more work remains. It is imperative that we address the 4th Wave of America’s Overdose Epidemic, and that is #methamphetamine abuse. #AMANAC
Across @HHSGov, we understand and act on the fact that #addiction is a chronic brain disease that requires treatment. For #opioids, that is Medication Assisted Treatment, psycho-behavioral support, and holistic wrap around services. #AMANAC
Some interesting perspectives from @RepAndyHarrisMD - both a politician and practicing anesthesiologist #AMANAC
Another interesting point @RepAndyHarrisMD made is regarding reimbursement and scope of practice, especially for physicians receiving equivalent reimbursement as mid-level providers operating at the top of their scope of practice - would physicians leave rural areas as a result?
This is a very interesting point to consider, especially as physicians undergo a high amount of training time for highly specific actions, which may not be equivalent to other health care professions. Is it a reimbursement problem or a lack of access?
