- DC faces criticism over plan to use opioid settlement money to help fund Medicaid costs
D.C. plans to use approximately $7.8 million from opioid settlement proceeds to help cover recurring costs for Medicaid and addiction treatment programs. Critics argue that this move intends only to maintain existing spending levels rather than expanding necessary services or treatments. The funds originate from a multibillion-dollar legal settlement related to the nation's opioid crisis.
