I don't love that my response to the news about #XtheXWaiver is that I must feel nothing and wait for the other shoe to drop.

Suboxone has more hoops to jump through for prescribing than oxycodone. As someone in ID that sees these patients on a daily basis, I can fully get behind “X the X waiver!” The more providers able to offer MAT, the better! @MAPharmacists @ampeckham #MASHP19 #XtheXwaiver

Thinking of my friend who survived a heroin overdose at 18, of my patients, of all the grief that exists b/c the toxic drug supply and the war on drugs are killing more than 100,000 people per year. #YesToOPS #XtheXwaiver #freemethadone

Any folks out there who care for patients with OUD and prescribe MAT or are otherwise interested in eliminating the X waiver want to help draft a proposal with me and @JessLynnMoreno. Hoping to get a broader coalition and even more insight behind our proposal. #XTheXWaiver

Question for physicians in the House including @RepBera: will you support the MAT Act to help us finally #XTheXWaiver? Having physician voices leading on this issue matters.

My rep, @DorisMatsui, has already co-sponsored. Thank you, Rep....

Some of you followed me way back in 2019 when I created a crowdsourced petition to #XTheXWaiver to improve access to treatment for opioid use disorder.

Today I get to advocate for the MAT Act on behalf of @EmergencyDocs so we can achieve this goal and I’m so incredibly happy.

I will never get tired of hearing @RyanMarino talk about drugs. This one was great. #EndTheStigma #XTheXWaiver
