State and local governments are receiving billions of dollars in settlements from companies that made, sold, or distributed prescription painkillers and were accused of fueling the opioid crisis. As of late February 2024, more than $4.3 billion had landed in government coffers.
KFF Health News has been tracking how state and local governments use - or misuse - the cash for over a year.
We’ve developed a searchable state-by-state database so you can dig in to see the total dollar amount your city, county, or state has received so far and expects in the future.
KFF Health News Senior Correspondent Aneri Pattani discusses the data and how it can help you launch into coverage of the historic opioid settlement story.
