Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost warned households on Wednesday after Ohio BCI reported that forensic scientists found carfentanil in 199 drug items from 46 counties—a rise from recent years.

Thousands in Northeast Ohio face a possible loss of affordable healthcare as premium subsidies expire at the end of this year amid a government shutdown—some families may see their annual premiums double to nearly $4,800.
