State and local governments are receiving billions of dollars in settlements from companies involved in the opioid crisis. KFF Health News has been tracking how this money is being used. BrownGreer, the administering firm, recently made settlement data public on a website, allowing users to see how much money their area has received or will receive each year. The data currently reflects the largest settlement of $26 billion to be paid by major pharmaceutical distributors and manufacturers. However, the database does not include all settlements, such as those with specific states or individual companies. The goal is to assess whether these settlements will impact the addiction crisis.
