Thanks for the detailed information! And also agree, it’s great to know that social workers are at the table, advocating for policy that promotes healing.

Taxes, taxes and more taxes…just what I expected. Any monies spent by the government come out of your pockets and mine. And yes, I’m in the top 25% of earners….hard-earned income after 30+ years in the field. To this day, I rise at 4:30 a.m., work well over 50 hours a week, continue to learn/earn certifications to advance my employable skills and volunteer/donate to numerous local and national charities. Sorry, but I don’t want to be taxed more to pay for treatment for addictions that will lead to a low rate of success.

In reply to Beth.

Good morning Beth:

We would suggest contacting the White House Office of Management and Budget for details. Here is a link to the fiscal 2017 budget request from President Obama. https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/.

Very interesting article! Glad to know NASW is at the table.

One question: did the President state how the U.S.A. will fund the $1 billion dollar plan for expanded treatment?
