Gregg Harper in committee on opioid overdose deaths and oversupply

Mississippi Congressman Gregg Harper explains that a year earlier the investigations subcommittee of House Energy and Commerce had investigated unusually large opioid shipments to small pharmacies in West Virginia spurred by reports of astonishing levels of opioid distribution to rural towns. Harper says 700 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills had been sent to the state or 433 pills per every person, eye-opening numbers.
