The opioid epidemic and the heroin epidemic are intertwined. Once people can't get these over-prescribed opioids, they turn to heroin and street drugs that are cheaper and more deadly. It's hit a lot of families in Michigan.

AG Jeff Sessions said nearly 300 health care providers are being suspended or banned from participating in federal health care programs.
