Many believe the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is in jeopardy and question what will happen to the 20 million people who have gained coverage under the law. ACA has also enhanced coverage for behavioral health conditions by making them one of the mandated benefit categories.

He also discussed limiting production of Schedule II drugs, increasing naloxone use and incentive's drug courts.
