Today's Graphic

"Massachusetts is a preview of coming attractions. Only 33,000 people died from opioid overdoses in the whole country (in 2015). We're three times worse than the national rate," he said. "Unless we put in place the prevention and treatment programs, we are going to see this epidemic just explode even further."

Senator Ed Markey

Speaking about the national opioid crisis.
