Governor Cuomo wants to hold opioid manufacturers and distributors accountable for the opioid crisis in New York state.
Cuomo said it's an industry-wide conspiracy and the damage done has been immeasurable.
The governor said a lawsuit is pending against those responsible for defrauding nearly two-billion-dollars in insurance premium costs.
He added, in New York state last year there were three-thousand deaths from opioids -- three-times more than 2010.
