America's Other Public Health Crisis: 100,000 Overdose Deaths

America's Other Public Health Crisis: 100,000 Overdose Deaths

More than 100,000 people died from a drug overdose in the 12-month period beginning April 2020.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, and addiction correspondent Brian Mann.
