Pennsylvania, which suffered 5,388 drug overdose deaths in 2017, more than any other state, will receive the first grant, expected to total more than $10 million over three years. The announcement comes the same week as new CDC numbers show that Americans' life spans are shortening, in part due to the opioid crisis. Meanwhile, drugmakers voice their objection over a proposal to separate infants' cases from the massive lawsuit being heard in an Ohio court. News on the drug epidemic comes from Florida, Massachusetts and Ohio, as well.
