Look at me working Dept::::Ernst urges drug take back day participation

(Sidney) -- Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is among those extolling the virtues of events addressing the nation's opioid epidemic

"The first was the Access to Increased Drug Disposal Act," said Ernst, "which is designed to increase participation in federal prescription drug take back programs. The second was the Education Disposal of Unused Opioid Act. This bill has a similar aim: it's goal is to take unused prescription drugs off the streets by requiring Medicare advantage plans, and prescription drug plans, to provide information on the safe disposal of those drugs."

While Ernst believes progress is being made on the war against opioid addiction, the Red Oak Republican says more needs to be done.
