Ohio official's answer to the opioid epidemic: let them die.

Yes, he's a registered Republican, so in keeping with the general moral standard of his party, his solution is not treatment for drug addicts. Instead, it's not providing the antidote for an overdose. Let overdose victims die, save money. I wish this surprised me.
