Most Flint hospitals are just fronts for illegal prescription drug distribution. I assume.

It just keeps going.
Investigators said the state Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Health and Human Services manipulated or buried reports about lead contamination in the drinking water on the same day in July 2015. Now the probe is working up the chain of command.
Former Detroit FBI chief Andy Arena said the case will be the largest criminal investigation in Michigan history.

Flint tried to save a few mil. Oops.
Switching to the Flint River as the city’s primary water source was an attempt to save around $5 million over the course of two years in Flint, Michigan.

Instead it has cost $458 million.

That’s according to calculations from analyst Peter Muennig at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. Only $58 million of that is expenditure by the state on medical care and unleaded water. The bulk of the number includes the social costs: Exposures leaking IQ points from children and disposing them to aggression and violence later in life, which leads to lower economic productivity, greater dependence on welfare programs, and greater costs to the criminal justice system.
Ah, Michigan. We'd sell it to Canada, but they'd just ask for a refund.

Flint's mayor is being charged with diverting water crisis funds to her own election coffers.

I knew she was a Democrat right away because the word "Republican" wasn't in the first sentence or the headline. Her party is about 7-8 paragraphs into the article.
