"As governors, we write to you with great urgency concerning the continuing epidemic caused by the opioid crisis in our states and local communities. As the Biden administration continues to do everything in its power to address this deadly epidemic, there is one straightforward step we believe the CMS can take expeditiously to decrease abuse and resulting deaths from opioids, including the prevention of opioid addiction before it begins," the governors wrote. "We urge you to expedite implementation of the NOPAIN Act by a full year to January 1, 2024."

The letter is signed by the governors of Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
