Today's Sick Joke in Health Care - Kellyanne Conway and Opiods

Major White House Denier in Charge of Denying Treatment and Prevention

The NYT editorial team has alerted us to a development lost in the news about sexual perversion in politics and entertainment.  It seems Trumpie has appointed his chief shill, Kellyanne to head up the opiod policy proposals and administration in the White House.

"Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump, has no public health background, a reputation for bending the truth, and a knack for generating government ethics complaints. Yet Ms. Conway does have the ear of the president. She has also studied America’s opioid epidemic in recent months as part of her portfolio. She is not the “opioids czar,” as some news outlets reported this week, but her stepping out as point person on the government response to this public health crisis stirred hope of concrete action from a White House that so far has offered little more than talk."

Exactly what the basis is for the 'hope' is not clear.  Our hope is for Kellyanne to be consigned to the dustheap of history before she does more damage to the addicts on opioids who desperately need help not hype.
