re: Opiod addicts will not be covered under TrumpCare

Would the money spent on damages plus the cost of the remaining remaining damage be less than 56 billion? What if the cost goes down slightly? The. It's worth it from a purely financial stand point. What if it goes up slightly but helps 1000's of people?

That's why I put in the qualifier that it might not be cost effective to fight opioid addiction because the cost in fighting the problem may end up being more than the financial savings. But, at the same time you have to factor in the political and moral costs as well. Trump made this a corner stone promise to help people in areas affected by the opioid crisis. And he won't be able to abandon them without paying a price. There's a moral and political argument for fighting against the opioid epidemic.
