While the southern border is getting the attention right now, it’s worth remembering that health care was the top issue for voters in November’s midterm election, especially coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.
About 2,000 Californians die from opioid overdose annually, according to the California Department of Public Health. This week in Chico, one person died and 12 were taken to the hospital after a suspected overdose on a powerful opiate called fentanyl.
