As President Donald Trump held a ceremony to sign a massive package aimed at combating the opioid crisis into law on Wednesday, the administration also announced commitments of support from large companies including Amazon, Cigna, CVS Health, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart. Speaking from the East Room of the White House, Trump said the Support for Patient and Communities Act was meant to build on progress made earlier in the year aimed at curbing opioid misuse and deaths from overdoses. "Together we are going to end the scourge of drug addiction in America," Trump said.
