President Donald Trump said Monday that the opioid epidemic is "ravaging so many American families and communities." It also appears to be more expensive than previously thought, according to a government analysis released Monday.

The White House Council of Economic Advisers pegs the true cost of the crisis in 2015 at $504 billion.
