Christie 'confident' Trump will accept opioid panel's recommendations according to : CNN

Christie spoke with members of the commission about its interim findings last Monday and said he hoped Trump would declare the opioid epidemic "a public health emergency." Christie spoke in stark terms about the problem, which he said claimed thousands of lives -- what he called a "9/11 scale loss of life" every three weeks. Chris Christie said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that he anticipated President Donald Trump would accept the recommendations of his presidential panel on opioids. "We've gotten a really good response from the White House," said Christie, whom Trump appointed to lead the panel. One of the main recommendations of the panel is to declare opioid addiction and overdoses a national emergency.
