On Homeland Security: Jason's Law: stop over-prescribing opioids at VA hospitals

The Tomah VA was wracked several years ago by a scandal involving over-prescription of opioids. Baldwin disciplined top aides for bungling whistleblower complaints about the facility, including sitting on an inspector general's report. Since then, Baldwin co-sponsored legislation, "Jason's Law," that toughened opioid prescription guidelines and pushes education for VA providers.

The Baldwin campaign responded to Vukmir's criticism with a statement from a veteran, who said: "Tammy wrote and fought to pass Jason's Law, which helps stop the over-prescribing of opioids at the VA and holds the VA accountable. That's leadership Wisconsin veterans need."
