Will drug companies be held accountable for America's opioid epidemic?
The nation’s opioid crisis was declared a public health emergency in 2017 and received new funding this past October.

William Brangham speaks to Barry Meier, who explores the origins of the epidemic in a new book, “Pain Killer.”
