?? Tackling the Opioid Crisis: Understanding Settlement Dollars ?? As we strive for effective solutions to the opioid crisis, tracking how settlement dollars are spent is crucial. According to KFF, there are significant challenges involved: 1?? The funding process is entirely state-driven with no centralized approach. 2?? Funds are distributed variably, with a portion going to state entities and local governments, each making independent decisions. 3?? Allocation methods vary across states, with some granting more control to local jurisdictions than state bodies. 4?? Transparency remains a major issue—only 12 states promised full transparency, and just 7 have met this commitment. Understanding these nuances is vital for accountability and impact.
