Legislation introduced last year in Minnesota that would have charged pharmaceutical companies a penny a pill to help combat the opioid crisis, never made it to the finish line.  Shelly Elkington of Montevideo lost her daughter in 2015 to an opioid addiction that stemmed from being prescribed prescription pain pills for Crohn’s disease.  Elkington says big pharma is to blame

Elkington says lobbying groups are going to great lengths to make sure these bills don’t pass. Elkington says not to worry; she and others will be out in full force during the 2019 legislative session
