BOSTON — Sen. Ed Markey, (D-Mass.) will express his support for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton this morning in Boston.

Markey will be joined by Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian, New England Regional Council of Carpenters Executive Secretary/Treasurer Mark Erlich, and families impacted by the opioid epidemic.

Clinton was the first presidential candidate to release a comprehensive plan to address the prescription drug and heroin crisis, including $10 billion in funding to expand treatment and recovery services, according to a prepared statement released by Markey's office.

4. Interesting comment, the only mention of drugs in this article is about drug abuse:

In 2014, Massachusetts experienced more than 1,300 deaths due to opioid overdoses."

Are you thinking the overdoses have to do with high drug prices or what?
