Excellent and enjoyable interview, one of my top 5 favorites from Charlie Rose. I wish every politician and apointee would acknowledge what Joseph did; you need a moral compass to exercise power.
Thank you for having this informative and enlightening discussion. It is long past time for recognizing that addiction is an illness that is treatable and that relapses are not necessarily character defects. Society pays a very high cost for its failure to treat the illness -- jails, broken families, etc. Mr. Califano is to be congratulated on his calling the medical community into account---leadership surely must come from this group. There are many tools at the medical community's disposal-- they simply have to develop the skills to use them to bring healing...
This discussion should be placed on national news prime-time, as soon as possible. People need to know this. I am certain we know there is a huge problem, but possibly not this huge.
